3 On-road navigation
When first started, Alpine unit calculates routes using the road network of the high quality vector maps
provided with the product.
You can set up your route in different ways:
• If you need a route for immediate navigation, you can select the destination and start navigating to
it right away (normal navigation).
• You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without GPS
reception (to achieve this, you need to turn off the GPS receiver and set a new starting point in
Route / Edit Route by tapping the flag icon at the current position).
You can plan routes with multiple destinations. Select the first destination. Then select a second
destination and add it to your route to create a multi-point route. You can add as many destinations to
your route as you like.
You can also use Alpine unit for off-road navigation. For details, see page 61.
3.1 Selecting the destination of a route
The software offers you several ways of choosing your destination:
• Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number or
the names of two intersecting streets (page 21).
• Enter an address with ZIP code (page 34). This way you do not need to select the name of the
city/town and the search for street names might be faster as well.
• Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination (page 37).
• Use the free form search to find an address or Place (page 46).
• Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 47).
• Use a previously saved Address Book entry (page 48).
• Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 49).
• Enter the coordinate of the destination (page 50).
• Use the location where a photo was taken (page 51).
3.1.1 Entering an address or a part of the address
If you know at least a part of the address, it is the quickest way to select the destination of the route.
Using the same screen, you can find an address by entering:
• the exact address, including house number
• the center of a city/town
• an intersection
• the midpoint of a street
