1. A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
determine that a vehicle is operating at an off-road location by comparing a sensed vehicle location to stored map data specifying the off-road location to determine that the vehicle location is the off-road location;
determine a location classification of the off-road location based on map data for the off-road location;
identify vehicle sensors affected by operating the vehicle at the off-road location;
identify vehicle control parameters governed by data collected from respective ones of the vehicle sensors affected by operating the vehicle at the off-road location;
determine vehicle control parameters for the location classification of the off-road location;
adjust the vehicle control parameters to compensate for the data collected from the respective vehicle sensors affected by operating at the off-road location;
adjust the vehicle control parameters based on the determined location classification of the off-road location; and
operate the vehicle at the off-road location according to the adjusted control parameters.
