Using Routes
The Route feature allows you to navigate to a destination of your choice. You can
determine your destination using either the Map Page or the Find Menu. Once a
destination is selected, the Route feature provides active navigation in the form of
a route line superimposed over the map, and both graphic and voice turn-by-turn
instructions. You can modify any route to include via points (points along the route
that you specify) and also change many aspects of route navigation using the Route
Preferences options. Once created, a route can be saved for later use.
To access the Routes Menu:
1. From the Map Page, open the Main Menu and tap Routes to display
the Routes Menu or tap the Routes icon on the Map Page tool bar.
If there is no active route, only three options appear, Route Preferences,
Resume Navigation (if you have previously been navigating a route),
Saved Routes and Speak. A new route can only be created after you
have selected a destination from the Map Page or from the Find Feature.
When a route is active the Route Menu will display Stop Navigation,
Recalculate, Detour, Edit Vias and Turns Page options in addition
to those previously mentioned.
A route cannot be calculated unless the GPS receiver has determined
your current location and you have selected a destination. Check the
GPS status message at the top of the Map Page before selecting a desti-
nation. Routes are simulated if the is no GPS connection.
Creating a Route
Before beginning route navigation, you must select a destination. Once the
destination is determined and you tap the on-screen “Route To It” button, the Route
feature creates a route to that destination.
To create a Route to a destination using the Map:
1. From the Map Page, use the stylus to place the Map Pointer on a map
item.
2. Then tap the Details icon to display the Location Dialog. Confi rm that
the location displayed is your desired destination and tap the Route To
It button at the bottom of the display.
3. Observe the small pop-up graphic at the bottom of right of the dis-
play indicating that the route is being calculated. If checked in the
routing preferences options (refer to page 24), a Route Preference
options menu appears, allowing you to select Faster Time, Shorter
Distance or Off Road routes. When the routing calculation is complete
you will observe a highlighted overlay showing your route on the map.
