If route guidance is not active yet, the route
calculation is started.

should be ended.
XSelect Yes or No.
If you select Yes COMAND cancels route
guidance and starts the route calculation to
the newly entered destination.
If you select No COMAND resumes the
active route guidance.
During the route calculation, an arrow
points towards the destination, and
underneath the message Calculating

i
Route calculation takes some time. The
length of time depends on, e.g. distance to
the destination. COMAND calculates the
route using the digital map data. The
calculated route may deviate from the
actual road situation, e.g. as a result of road
works or incomplete map data. Please refer
to the information on the digital map
( Y page 58).
