222 Control systemsCOMAND navigation system (entering a destination)Starting the route calculation
After entering the destination, select
“Start”.
The route calculation will start if route
guidance has not already been activat-
ed.
If route guidance has already been ac-
tivated, a prompt will appear asking
whether you want to end the current
route guidance.
Select “Yes” or “No”.
If you select “Yes”, COMAND will stop
the route guidance and start the route
calculation for the new destination.
If you select “No”, COMAND will con-
tinue with the active route guidance.
The new destination is discarded.
During the route calculation, an arrow
will indicate the linear direction to the
destination. Below this, you will see the
message “Calculating Route”.
Once the route has been calculated,
route guidance begins (
page 237).
i
You cannot start the route calculation until
all the necessary address data has been en-
tered.
i
With “Change Name” you can change the
name of the chosen entry from the destination
memory before starting the route calculation.
i
Route calculation requires a certain amount
of time. The time depends on the distance from
the destination, for example.
COMAND calculates the route using the digital
map data. The calculated route may differ from
the actual road situation, e.g. due to road con-
struction or incomplete map data. Please make
sure that you observe the notes about the digital
map (page 188).
