Destination guidance in non-digitalized map area, function - GF82.61-P-4001RM

MODEL 230.467 /474 /475 as of 1.6.04 with CODE (527) COMAND APS (with navigation) 

MODEL 230.476 as of 1.6.04 

On journeys outside the digitized map area (e.g. company premises, multi-level car parks, country roads, etc.) but still within the digital versatile disk (DVD) map limit, the navigation processor (N41/1) switches the operating unit over to "navigation in the non-digitized area". The following message appears on the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3) display:

• "OFFROAD"

In addition if the vehicle is outside the DVD map limit (outside the country), the following message appears:

• "OFFMAP"

When entering the OFFROAD mode, the street map is displayed and a route information is shown.

In both cases only basic position finding (composite positioning) takes place with rectification through the global positioning system (GPS) data. Limited destination guidance takes place while only specifying:

• Distance to the destination as the crow flies
• the direction to the destination (as arrow)

After reentering the digitized map area, the system automatically continues with "Destination guidance in digitized map area". The GPS position is used to help determine the roads on which the vehicle could be located. During this process a slight delay in the route guidance may result.

In the event of the message "OFFMAP", comprehensive navigation can be continued after loading a corresponding abroad DVD.
