Selecting A Destination - Alpine X209D Quick Reference Manual

3 Using the navigation
By default, Alpine Navigation System calculates routes using the road network of the maps provided with
the product.
You can select the destination and start navigating to it right away (normal navigation) if you need a route
for immediate navigation.
You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position even without GPS reception. To
achieve this, you need to set a new starting point in the Multipoint Route menu. It also suspends guidance
so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is received. See
You can plan routes with multiple destinations by selecting a first and a second destination and adding it
to your route. You can add as many destinations to your route as you like. See
You can also use Alpine Navigation System for off-road navigation. See page 57.
The following sections describe how to select a destination, view and modify the route or use navigation-
related features with the help of the touch screen.
