You cannot start the route calculation
until all the necessary address data has
been entered.
X After entering the destination, select
Start.
The route calculation will start if route
guidance has not already been activated.
If route guidance has already been
activated, a prompt will appear asking
whether you want to end the current route
guidance.

route guidance and start the route
calculation for the new destination.

guidance begins ( Y page 116). i
Route calculation requires time. The time
depends on factors such as the distance
from the destination.
COMAND calculates the route using the
digital map data. The calculated route may
differ from the actual road situation, e.g.
due to road construction or incomplete
map data. Please make sure that you
observe the notes about the digital map
(Y page 83).

an entry called My Address. You can save
your home address, for example, under this
entry (Y page 130).
