Creating Routes
Overview
Creating a route involves selecting a destination and choosing how you would like the
route calculated. Once this is done, the Magellan CrossoverGPS will calculate the route
using the guidelines you provide and displays the Map screen with information guiding
you to your destination. You can select to be guided while driving - you will then receive
detailed turn-by-turn visual and vocal instructions - or while walking - you will then be
guided by a straight line displayed on the map from your current position to your
destination.
Selecting the routing method is a two-step process that is always identical. It shall thus
be described first in this section.
Selecting a routing method
Whatever way you select your destination (entering an address, selecting a POI, choosing
an address from your address book or a town) you must select the routing method to allow
your CrossoverGPS to calculate your route. To do this you will have to choose the
Navigation mode first and then the Route Preference.
Choosing the Navigation Mode
When a destination has been chosen (an address, POI,
or town centre), a screen is displayed allowing you to
select the Navigation Mode you wish to use. Tap the
Navigation Mode button to select Car/Motorcycle to get
turn-by-turn vocal and visual guidance to your
destination or select Pedestrian to display a straight line
on the map from your current position to your
destination, to allow you to easily walk to the selected
address.
