Creating Routes

Find

 — Choose this option if you want to find a known place such as a restaurant, hotel, waypoint, or 

an address. Use the Find option in the same way that it is discussed in the last section, Finding Places by 
Using the FIND Menu.

Route Preference Window

Once you mark your start and end points for a route, you can decide how you want the route to be 
calculated: by using the fastest time, by taking the shortest distance, or by travelling off route.

Faster Time

 — Choose this option if you want your StreetPilot to use time as the criteria for calculating 

your route. This means that the driving time will be shorter but the distance might be longer.

Shorter Distance

 — Choose this option if you want your StreetPilot to use distance as the criteria for 

calculating your route. This means that the distance might be shorter but you may have to drive longer.

Off Road

 — Choose this option to view a direct-line route to your destination. This option does not 

provide a turn-by-turn route. It merely displays a straight line from your end point to your start point; the 
voice guidance tells you the direction and distance to your destination. Use this option if you are travelling 
where obscure roads (or no roads) might be.
As soon as your route is created, your StreetPilot begins to navigate the route. If at any time 
you wish to STOP a route, select 

Stop Route

 from the 

Route

 menu. To RESUME the route, 

select 

Resume Route

.

Setting a HOME Waypoint

Your StreetPilot includes a special feature that allows you to set a HOME waypoint that can be your home, 
office, or any other place to which you return most often. Once set, you can opt to go “HOME.” For 
example, if you are driving in a new city or down an unknown  street and you want to easily find your way 
home, simply press your StreetPilot’s 

FIND

 key two times. A window asking you to verify that you want to 

route home will appear. Select 

Yes

, and your StreetPilot will then direct you to your HOME location. 

The appearance of the Route menu depends on if you 
are currently navigating a route (top) or if you have 
recently completed a route (bottom).
