GF82.61-P-2002RJ Continuous Position Finding, Function
- with CODE (498) Japan version












Continuous location finding means that the current position of the vehicle is calculated. It is active when the ignition is switched on and performed by the navigation processor in the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3). During the switch-on phase (software is loaded), only the basic position finding (composite positioning) is available. After switching the ignition off, all important positioning parameters are stored for the duration of the run-on time (approx. 30 min.). If the run-on time has expired, the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3) switches itself completely off.

Following the last step in navigation (destination reached), the position map is shown again on the display of the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3).

Continuous position finding uses the following 3 methods, which mutually complement each other and thus ensure extremely accurate and reliable position finding:
^ Basic location finding (dead reckoning)
^ GPS location finding
^ Map-based position finding

Manual entry of vehicle location
It is also possible to manually enter the location in the "Navigation" menu on the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3).
