Changing the Route

While en route, you may wish to alter your route, add an interim “Waypoint”

(pit stop), choose a different destination, or cancel your current destination.

To change your present route, you can do any of the following:

Say “Menu,” or press the MENU button to view the Change route by screen:

• Search waypoint (page 63)

• Delete waypoint (page 65)

• Avoid streets (page 65)

• Detour (page 65)

• Change routing method (page 65)

• Cancel the current route (page 66)

• Back to the current route (page 66)

Choose a different destination (other methods) by:

• Saying “Find nearest...” to find a POI

(page 66).

• Saying “Go home” (page 66).

• Using the joystick to select a different

POI or address on the map (page 66).

• Pressing the MENU button twice to get to the Enter destination by screen (page 68).

Driving to Your Destination

Waypoints

Waypoints allow you to add an interim

“pit stop” while traveling to a destination. For instance, you may want to stop for gas or food, and then continue on to your destination.

Although you can enter up to five waypoints at a time, typically you may never use more than one at a time.

Waypoints are routed to in the order they were entered (number 1 first, etc.), with your final destination routed to last.

If you wish to create a custom route of several destinations, and then control the order of routing, the function

“Today’s Destinations” is probably a better choice (see By Today’s

Destinations on page 41).

Navigation System 63

Driving to Your Destination

When you enter waypoints, they appear on the map screen as small red flags numbered 1-5.

Adding Waypoints

From the Change route by screen, if you say or select Search Places on

Route , then the Select a search method screen is displayed. Select either Places Along the Route or

Places Around the Destination .

Next, select your “Waypoint Category,” then follow the menu prompts to select a destination. When the system performs a search from Places Along the

Route , it displays matches that lie within a corridor on either side and in front of you along your route.

From Places Around the

Destination , the system displays matches in a spiral pattern outward from the destination. The search “corridor” distance value can be changed in Edit

Waypoint Search Area in Setup (see page 89).

To add another waypoint, press the

MENU button and repeat the procedure.

If Search Places on Route is grayed out, the maximum of five waypoints has been entered.

NOTE:

The system does not allow you to select the roads you want to use to get to a destination. However, after you enter a destination, you can select intersections or POI waypoints that the system will use to tailor your route.
