Via points

If you wish to visit other locations en 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.
☞
Via points can be entered in exactly the same way as destinations. Also see
"Destination input", page 12.
In the "Via points" menu, the following options are also available:
❑ Store viapoint: 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
deleted 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 via point that has not been
reached 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 using 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 is not driven to directly. It only represents a rough guide for
the route to be travelled.
✎
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.
