Chapter 7 Favourites

What are Favourites?

Favourites are places that you go often. You can create Favourites so that you don’t have to enter the address every time you want to navigate there.

They don’t have to be places you like, just useful addresses.

How can I create a Favourite?

From the Main Menu, tap Add Favourite.

Note: The button Add Favourite may not be shown on the first page of the

Main Menu. Tap the arrow to open other pages in the Main Menu.

You can then select the location of the Favourite from the list below.

Give your Favourite a name that is easy to remember. Your NAVIGATOR will always suggest a name, usually the address of the Favourite. To enter the name, just start typing. You don’t have to delete the suggested name.

You can set your Home location as a Favourite.

How can I use a Favourite?

You will normally use a Favourite as a way of navigating to a place without having to enter the address. To navigate to a Favourite, do the following:

1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.

2. Tap Navigate to...

3. Tap Favourite.

4. Select a Favourite from the list.

Your NAVIGATOR calculates the route for you.

5. When the route is calculated, tap Done.

Your NAVIGATOR will immediately start guiding you to your destination with spoken instructions and visual instructions on the screen.

How many Favourites can I create?

You can create up to 48 Favourites. If you want to add more than 48, we suggest that you make some POI categories and add some of your Favourites as POIs.

For more information about POIs, see Points of Interest on page 21.
