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.

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.
Avoiding Delays, Tolls, and Areas
Avoiding Traffic Delays on Your Route
Before you can avoid traffic delays, you must be receiving traffic
information (
Receiving Traffic Data Using a Traffic Receiver
).
By default, the device optimizes your route to avoid traffic delays
automatically. If you have disabled this option in the traffic
settings (
), you can view and avoid
traffic delays manually.
