Creating a route using POIs
POIs (points of interest) have been preloaded into the Magellan CrossoverGPS for
commonly used categories such as hotels, restaurants, petrol stations, etc. Following the
steps provided you will be able to create a route to any of these destinations.
Creating a route to a POI by name
1. From the Main Menu, select POI-Points of Interest.
2. Select the POI category and, if displayed,
the subcategory.
3. Select Spell Name.
4. Spell out the POI name. You do not need
to spell out the complete name. However,
the more letters you enter, the narrower
the search will be.
5. Select Current Position, Address or Town
Centre.
The most common will be Current Position or Town Centre. In this case you could
be looking for any particular brand of petrol station nearest to where you are or
perhaps nearest to the centre of a town you are planning on going to.
If you select Town centre or address, you will need to input the name and select
from the list of available items before continuing.
6. Select the POI from the list of POIs that you are looking for.
7. Once the POI has been selected from the available list, select the navigation
method and route preference to be used to calculate the route.
