ways of adding a favourite, so consider using this whenever you visit somewhere that you
know you'll want to return to at a later date.
Tip: You don't have to travel, physically, to a location in order to set it as a favourite! Instead,
see the 'Cursor functions' in
'Browse
map'.
Once a favourite has been chosen and named, it will show up whenever you pick from your
list of favourites, for example in 'Navigate to...'
'Favourite'
.
Advanced route planning
Find alternative...
Perhaps a route has been planned that you're not happy with? Perhaps you have been routed
via a busy junction? Perhaps you spot road works up ahead? Or perhaps you really wanted to
go 'via' one particular location? This is where the 'Find alternative...'
option comes in.
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. 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', 'Favourite', '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'
. To save you time (when you're on the road), there are four
presets. Estimate whether the blockage extends '100m', '500m', '2000m' or '5000m' ahead
from your current position and then select the appropriate icon.
