Setting a Destination

Press the green corner of your touchscreen, then Dest when it appears.
Choose any of the following:
My Home
Favorites
Previous Destinations
Point of Interest
Emergency
Previous Starting Point
Latitude/Longitude
1. Enter the necessary information into the highlighted text fields (in
any order). For address destination entry, Go! appears once all the
necessary information has been entered. Pressing Go! makes the
address location appear on the map. If you choose Previous
Destination, the last 20 destinations you have selected appear.
2. Select Set as Dest to make this your destination. You can also
choose to set this as a waypoint (have the system route to this point
on the way to your current destination) or save it as a favorite. The
system considers any Avoid Areas selections in its route calculation.
3. Choose from up to three different types of routes, and then select
Start Route.
• Fastest Route: Uses the fastest moving roads possible.
• Shortest Route: Uses the shortest distance possible.
• Eco Route: Uses the most fuel-efficient route.
You can cancel the route or have the system demo the route for you.
Select Route Prefs to set route preferences like avoiding freeways,
tollroads, ferries and car trains as well as to use or not use
high-occupancy vehicle lanes. (High-occupancy vehicle lanes also known
as carpool or diamond lanes. People who ride in buses, vanpools or
carpools use these lanes.)
Note: If your vehicle is on a recognized road and you do not press the
Start Route button, the system defaults to the Fastest Route option
and begins guidance.
During route guidance, you can press the talking bubble icon that
appears in the upper right navigation corner (green bar) if you want the
system to repeat route guidance information. When the system repeats
the last guidance instruction, it updates the distance to the next
guidance instruction, since it detects when the vehicle is moving.
