Finding alternative routes

Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the route, without
changing your destination.
Why change the route?
Maybe for one of these reasons:
• You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.
• You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for lunch or fill up with
petrol.
• You want to avoid a difficult junction or a road you don't like.

are on very soon.
