GF82.61-P-3011QMU Route Calculation, Function
- with CODE (530) COMAND APS USA (with navigation system)


After inputting the destination on the COMAND operating, display and controller unit (A40/3), the route is calculated and constantly updated by the navigation processor . It can only be calculated within the digitized map area. The calculated route is a preconditio for destination-oriented navigation.

Route calculation
The navigation processor of the COMAND operating, display and controller unit (A40/3) calculates the route using the digital versatile disk (DVD) map data, the entered destination and the instantaneous position. The roads and their attributes as read from the DVD map (e.g. one-way streets, turn prohibitions, road classes etc.) are taken into account for the calculation. The user can define the manner in which the route is to be calculated:

The different routes that can be calculated include:
^ Quickest route
^ Shortest route
^ Separate selection

Under "Own selection", the following stretches can be blocked from the route calculation:
^ Highway
^ Ferry
^ Toll

Following the calculation of the route, the navigation processor generates a list of roads and junctions to be driven along. This list of routes is drawn on for destination-oriented navigation. It may also be displayed by calling up the "Information" menu.

Route updating
When the driver deviates from the calculated route, a new route list is calculated by the navigation processor. The current position and the direction of travel are taken into consideration, and the new route is optimized accordingly. The display of the COMAND operating, display and controller unit (A40/3) shows the message "New Route" and "NEW RTE" is shown in the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1).

Trips outside the digitized map area
If the vehicle leaves the digitized map area (e.g. driving in a multilevel car park), then no route can be calculated or updated. "OFF ROAD" appears on the display of the COMAND operating, display and controller unit (A40/3). Upon leaving the map boundary (e.g. foreign country), the message "OFF MAP" appears. Destinations that lie outside the digitized map area cannot be incorporated into the route calculation.
