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 scheduling information, 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.
