Basic position finding







Map-supported location finding







GPS satellite (global positioning system)

Continuous position finding means that the current position of the vehicle is calculated. It is active when the ignition is switched on and is accomplished by the navigation processor integrated into the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3). During the switch-on phase (software is loaded), only the basic position finding is available. After switching the ignition off, all important positioning parameters are stored for the duration of the run-on time (approx. 30 min).

Following the last navigation operation (destination reached) the position map is displayed again. After a 1 min run-on time the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3) switches itself off.

Continuous position finding uses 3 methods which supplement each other and thereby ensure extremely precise and reliable position finding: These include:
- Basic position finding (dead reckoning)
- Map-supported map matching
- GPS position finding

Manual entry of vehicle location
To enter the location manually, go to the "Navigation" menu in the COMAND operating, display and control unit (A40/3).
