Navigating to a Destination
A destination can be determined in two ways: you use the
Map Pointer to mark a point on the map and then tap the
Routes icon... or use the Find Feature to search for a destination
from the map database and then, when found and highlighted,
choose the “Route To It” option from the Find Options Menu.
Using the Map Pointer:
1. Tap the point on the Map Page that you want to navigate to. If
there is information about that point in the map database, it will
display next to the point.
2. Then tap the Routes icon to display the Routes Page.
3. Tap the “Route To” fi eld and the route will begin to calculate.
4. A pop-up window will offer three preferences for calculating the
route. Select an option and tap OK to return to the Map Page to
complete calculation.
5. When the calculation is complete, the route will display as a
purple overlay on top of the map.
6. The fi rst maneuver on your route is displayed at the top of the
map page and is complemented by a voice prompt.
7. To view all of the turns on the route, open the Routes Page and
tap the Turns Page icon. A list of the turns will display and a
preview page for each turn will display when the turn on the list is
tapped.
