Methods of navigating to a destination
If you select the Go To button on the Waypoint
Page or other Find Menu items, the Vista Cx
creates a straight path (point-to-point) from
your current location to that location.
If you select the
Navigate button on a Route
Page, the Vista Cx creates a route composed
of several user waypoints or Find Menu items,
with the last being your destination. It navigates
directly from point to point. Before each turn
in the route, a turn page shows a guidance
message and a graphic of the turn. You can
view the turns at any time by pressing up or
down on the Rocker while the route is active.
Both navigation methods change when you
select the Follow Roads option on the Routing

to-point routing become routes that allow you
to navigate using roads.
The routes use existing roadways (either those
in the basemap or from downloaded detail
mapping) to automatically calculate a route to
