available.

If you depart from the route while navigating, the device
automatically recalculates a new route to your destination and
starts guiding you to it. To recalculate your route, the device
may require your phone to have an active mobile data
connection with access to the internet. If no internet connection
is available, the device displays the distance and a directional
pointer to your destination until an internet connection becomes
available.
Arriving at Your Destination
When you approach your destination, the device displays a
checkered flag, a directional pointer, and the distance to your
destination.

your destination. You can use the pointer to determine which
side of the street your destination is on, or to navigate to your
destination through an unmapped area, such as a parking lot.
