NoMaD [31] is a learned vision-navigation policy that unifies goal-conditioned navigation and exploration in a single goal-masked diffusion policy. In an unseen environment, however - where neither a goal image nor a topological map is available - it can only explore undirectedly, wandering without global awareness. We present ODG-NoMaD, which gives NoMaD's exploration mode a global sense of where to proceed, without retraining the policy. An overhead depth camera is used once on deployment to build an occupancy map and plan a global path, which is segmented to yield a desired heading; a per-frame traversability map from the robot's onboard depth then refines this into a collision-free direction. The gradient of a cosine direction cost is injected into the final denoising steps, rotating sampled trajectories toward this direction while preserving the multimodality of exploration. In simulated office environments with and without random obstacles, ODG-NoMaD reduces the residual distance to the target by up to an order of magnitude over unguided exploration, outperforms the point-goal cost guidance of NaviDiffusor [37], and is the only configuration that remains collision-free on every trial.
