Recording the route Notes
If you have activated COMAND Online and the
SD memory card has been inserted, you
should not take it out of the slot.
You can store up to 100 routes.
When you record a route, COMAND Online
uses so-called support points and displays
the route as a series of lines. If the route is
then calculated, COMAND Online attempts to
align the recorded route with the digital map.
The support points of the route may not be on
a digitised road. This is often the case with routes which are
drawn up using other map data and imported
via the online function, e.g.:
R routes from the Google™ Local Search
(Y page 442)
R routes from the destination/route down-
load (Y page 446)
