Using Suggested Routes

Before you can use this feature, you must save at least one 

location and enable the travel history feature.
Using the myTrends

 feature, your device predicts your 

destination based on your travel history, the day of the week, 

and the time of day. After you have driven to a saved location 

several times, the location may appear in the navigation bar on 

the map, along with the estimated time of travel, and traffic 

information.

Select the navigation bar to view a suggested route to the 

location.
