gets shorter the nearer you get
to the announced change of direction.
COMAND announces the imminent change of
direction. Based on the example display
below, the change of direction is announced
beforehand by the message:
Please turn
right in 500 ft. and follow the
<road name>
.
The distance announced before the next
change of direction depends on the type of
road and its permissible maximum speed.
The display is now split into two sectors. In
the left half, you see the normal map view.
The right half shows an enlarged section of
the area around the intersection (Crossing
Zoom) or a 3D image of the road's course with
the route indicating the next maneuver.
Example: change-of-direction phase

Current vehicle position (the tip of the
triangle indicates the vehicle’s direction
of travel)

announcement phase.

COMAND automatically switches back to full-
