location, perhaps to pick up or drop someone off. The new location is picked in exactly the same
way as you would pick a departure point or destination, with the usual options of 'Home', 'Favorite',
'Address', 'Point Of Interest', and so on. Once selected, a new fastest route is calculated, making
sure to include your 'via' location.
Tip: If you want to include more than a single 'via' location in your journey, use the comprehensive
Itinerary feature instead, described later in this chapter.
If you spot signs of trouble (such as backed-up traffic or 'Delays ahead' warning signs), choose
'Avoid roadblock'
Estimate whether the blockage extends '100m', '500m', '2000m' or '5000m' ahead from your
current position and then select the appropriate icon.
Once you've chosen a roadblock option, a new route is quickly calculated that avoids all
roads for the chosen distance along the planned route, routing you right round the troubled
area.
Tip: After choosing a roadblock option, look out for a turn direction on the screen almost immediately.
If you continue into the 'blocked' area, you may want to use 'Find alternative...' and then 'Avoid
roadblock' again, to recalculate your best route taking into account your new position.
If you want to avoid a particular intersection, maybe because it's a known traffic black spot, choose
'Avoid part of route'
choosing which junction you want to steer clear of. A new route will then be calculated.
Note: Any junctions that have already been passed are grayed out and can't be selected.
