Advanced planning
Although navigating from your current position
is the function that you’ll use most often, there
may be times when you want to plan ahead.
Choosing ‘Advanced planning’
on the
main menu lets you look at the best route and
journey time between any two given locations or
get directions that will help someone else get to
your current position.
Tip: You may need to use in order to see the
‘Advanced planning’ icon.
If you’d like this choice every time you navigate,
or if you’d like to change the default setting,
see ‘Planning preferences’ in the ‘Change
preferences’ menu.
Rather than use your GPS position, with
‘Advanced planning’ you choose your
departure location using either an address, a
Point Of Interest, a favourite location, and so on.
You then pick a destination in the same way and
finally choose a planning option
(fastest, shortest, walking, etc.)
