Trip Planner
You can use the trip planner to create and save a trip, which you
can navigate later. This can be useful for planning a delivery
route, a vacation, or a road trip. You can edit a saved trip to
further customize it, including reordering locations, optimizing
the order of stops, adding suggested attractions, and adding
shaping points.
You can also use the trip planner to edit and save your active
route.
Planning a Trip
A trip can include many destinations, and it must include at least
a starting location and one destination. The starting location is
the location from which you plan to start your trip. If you start
navigating the trip from a different location, the device gives you
the option to route to your starting location first. For a round trip,
the starting location and final destination can be the same.
