Route guidance
Route guidance in these areasWhen you are
entering a partially digitized area
or 
starting route guidance within such an
area,
the navigation system will inform you that
turn by turn guidance cannot be provided
with corresponding navigation displays
and voice announcements.
Map displayWithin these areas the display shows a
split screen with the map on the left-hand
side and a direction arrow on the right side
pointing to the destination instead of the
symbol for the next driving maneuver ( page
144)
.
Route presentationUsually the map highlights the active route
on verified roads with a blue line. After route calculation, the route may
contain unverified road sections. Here, the
exact route guidance is suppressed and
these route sections will appear as blue
dotted lines. This type of line e.g. connects
two verified road sections, which are
displayed as blue lines or connects the end
of a verified road with a stopover or
destination located on an unverified road.
iDisplayed or audible distance to the
beginning of such an area is an
estimation. The actual distance may
differ.Warning

vide the shortest path to the destination
when you are travelling in an unverified area.
In most cases you will be directed to a veri
-
fied road closest to the destination. This
may appear to be a long and unconvenient
route but it is safer. At your own risk, you
may choose to drive on the unverified roads
to the destination.
