Creating a New Route
Pointing To a Starting Point To Start a Route
Although the StreetPilot does not automatically give turn-by-turn directions when a destination
is chosen, you can select your starting point and your destination and then manually select a route by
choosing the roads and streets you wish to travel. After you have “built a route” you will see turn-by-
turn directions. To demonstrate a route, plan a trip from San Francisco Airport to historic Alcatraz
Island. As you are creating and editing routes, the top of the screen prompts you for what to do next
(see bottom left picture).
To create a new route:
1. Press the
ROUTE
key to view the Route menu.
2. Highlight
Create New Route
(top left picture) and press the
ENTER
key. The
screen shows a full-screen map with a panning arrow.
3. Use the
ROCKER
keypad to point to the desired starting point for the route (bottom left
picture). It is often desirable to highlight a map object for the route starting and ending
points, although it is not necessary. Remember you can use the Zoom
IN
and
OUT
keys to
quickly pan around the map. Press the
ENTER
key to accept the starting point.
OR
Press the
FIND
key, and find a Personal Waypoint, City, Point of Interest, Address or Intersection
to use as the starting point of the route (Find Functions are described on pages 41-51). Once
the information page is displayed for the item you found, highlight
Add to route
and press the
ENTER
key.
4. Repeat step 3 to set the desired destination for the route (top right picture on the following
page). The total route distance (point to point) is shown in the lower right corner of the screen
(first picture in sequence on the following page). This distance will change to reflect the actual
driving distance when you have completed adding turns to the route.
