Avoiding an area
General information COMAND enables you to avoid areas you do not wish to drive through.
If you activate or deactivate a route block while route guidance is active, COMAND will cal-
culate a new route. If you activate or deactivate a route block while route guidance is inactive, COMAND will use the new setting for the next route guidance.
The calculated route may include an area to be avoided if:
R your destination is located in such an area.
R there is no alternative route of comparable length available
Highways within blocked areas are always taken into consideration in the route calculation.
