How to plan your first route

7. The fastest route from your current position

to your destination is then calculated. This

should only take a few seconds and its pro-

gress is shown on the screen. When done, a

summary is shown, on a suitably scaled map.

Studying this summary can be useful for you to get a

feel for your trip's scope and to check if the route inclu-

des roads that you'd rather avoid (in which case, see

'Finding alternative routes', below).

8. Select 'Done' and you'll find yourself back at

the main navigation view, but with the route

now clearly colored in for you.

White arrowheads show the direction you need to move

along the current road and a specially-shaped green

arrow shows what to do at the next turn or intersection

Helping with your trip

That's the planning all done, so simply buckle your

seat belt and drive. As you approach a specific

turn in the calculated route, your chosen voice

will tell you what to do. For example, "In 100

yards, turn left", followed by "Turn left", without

you having to take your eyes off the road. As you

travel, following the voice instructions, you'll notice

that the navigation view is updated constantly,

always showing coming roads and intersections

and presenting the best route to you.

Don't worry if you miss a turn or drive down the wrong

road. A new fastest route will be calculated automati-

cally, based on your new position and direction of travel.

Wherever you go, it will always give you instructions that

will take you to your chosen destination.
