Via Points (Intermediate Destinations) - VDO MS 5600 Manual

Via points (intermediate destinations)

If you wish to visit other locations on route to the entered destination address, these
can be stored as via points. The navigation system then plans the route to include the
via points in the given sequence before the destination address is reached.
Once a via point has been passed it is automatically deleted from the list.
A maximum of 25 via points can be stored.
If a via point is active, all route information such as distance or travel time relates to
that via point.
Entering via points
Select "Via points" in the navigation menu.
:
The "Via points" menu is displayed.
You can also enter via points just like destinations. Also see "Destination input",
Page 12.
In the "Via points" menu, the following options are also available:
Store via point: Stores the currently entered via point.
List via points: Displays the list of previously entered via points.
Delete via point: Deletes via points from the list of via points.
Via points which you have not reached or which are no longer required must be de-
leted from the via point list so that the navigation system may plan the route to the
next via point or to the final destination. If a not reached via point is not deleted, the
system will continue to try and guide you to this via point.
Defining a flexible route point
As well as the normal via points, you can also ask the navigation system to plan the route
so that the route passes as close as possible to a specific point on the map.
Select the map display during guidance.
Move the cursor with the cursor buttons 4, 6, 8 or 2 to the point on the map which
you would like to define as a flexible route point.
Press OK.
In the pop-up menu, select "Store –> Flex. route point".
You can only define one flexible route point.
A flexible route point can only be defined via the map display when the guidance
function is activated.
A flexible route point can not be approached directly. It merely represents a general
orientation point for the guidance function.
The flexible route point is deleted as soon as you enter a new destination or a new
regular via point (see above) or stop the guidance function.
In contrast to a normal via point, you do not receive a message when you have reached
the flexible route point.
Deleting a flexible route point
Select "Info" in the Start menu.
Select "Via points" in the "Info" menu.
Select "Delete flexible route point".
