Creating Routes
Map page appears, move around it until you fi nd your destination point. Then, tap the check mark that’s
located at the top right-hand corner of the Map page.
Find — Choose this option if you want to fi nd a known place such as a restaurant, hotel, waypoint, or

calculating your route. This means that the distance might be shorter but you may have to drive longer.
Off Road — Choose this option to view a direct-line route to your destination. This option does not
provide a turn-by-turn route. It merely displays a straight line from your end point to your start point; the
voice guidance tells you the direction and distance to your destination. Use this option if you are travelling
where obscure roads (or no roads) might be.
As soon as your route is created, your StreetPilot begins to navigate the route. If at any
time you wish to STOP a route, select Stop Route from the Route menu. To RESUME the
route, select Resume Route.
