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 journey's scope and to check if the route
includes 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 coloured in for you.

Helping with your journey

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 metres, turn left", followed by "Turn left",
without you having to take your eyes off the
road. As you travel, following the voice instruc-
tions, you'll notice that the navigation view is
updated constantly, always showing coming
roads and junctions 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.
