Finding alternative routes
Perhaps a route has been planned that you're
not happy with? Perhaps you have been rou-
ted via a busy junction? Perhaps you have
spotted roadworks up ahead?
Or perhaps you really wanted to go 'via' one
particular location? In each of these cases,
can help you. Again,
'Find alternative...'
you'll see it on the main menu, right next to
'Navigate to...'
Which 'Find alternative' option you go for
depends on why you're dissatisfied with the
first route.
Choose 'Travel via...' if you want to
make sure the planned route goes past one
particular location, perhaps to collect (or
drop off) a letter or person. If you spot signs
of trouble, choose 'Avoid roadblock'
Or if you want to avoid a particular road
junction, perhaps because it's a known traf-
fic black spot, choose 'Avoid part of route'
. Finally, if you want an alternative route
because you simply don't like the original,
choose 'Calculate alternative' .
Tip: If you want to include more than a single 'via' location
in your journey, use the comprehensive 'Itinerary planning'
feature instead, described in the manual on CD.

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'
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
'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.)
