• Avoid Road: Choose this option if you want to map out a few sections of a road or even an entire
road to avoid. A Map page appears, enabling you to mark a “start point” on a road. Simply move
the map pointer onto the beginning section of a road you wish to avoid and touch the check box
in the top right-hand corner of the page. Once you touch the check box, an “end point” Map page
appears. Notice that a blue thumb tack has marked your “start point.” Position your map pointer
onto the end section of a road and touch the check box in the top right-hand corner of the page. A
map of the avoided roads appears, along with a default name (usually street names). You can change
this name by touching it and entering a new name by using the mini keyboard that appears.
Place the map pointer over the “start
point” as shown at left. Then, touch the
check box in the top right corner.
Once you touch the check box in the top right
corner, a blue thumb tack marker will appear. Move the map pointer over the “end point” as
shown above. Then, touch the check box in the
top right corner.
