If you have selected Dynamic Traffic Dynamic Traffic
Route Route as the route type, COMAND guides you

Storing destinations
General notes
If a route to a destination has been calculated,
COMAND saves the destination to the last
destinations memory. If the memory is full,
COMAND overwrites the oldest destination.
When you save the current vehicle position or
a crosshair position, this position is stored in
the "Last destinations" memory.
You can save destinations permanently in the
address book and on an SD memory card. For
instance, this is possible immediately after
entering an address.
