Routes
A route is a path from your current location to one or more destinations.
• The device calculates a recommended route to your destination based on the preferences you set, including
the route calculation mode ( Changing the route calculation mode, page 13 ) and avoidances ( Avoiding
Delays, Tolls and Areas, page 18 ).
• The device can automatically avoid roads that are not appropriate for the active vehicle profile.
• You can start navigating to your destination quickly using the recommended route, or you can select an
alternative route ( Starting a route, page 13 ).
• If there are specific roads you need to use or avoid, you can customise the route ( Shaping Your Route,
page 17 ).
• You can add multiple destinations to a route ( Adding a location to your route, page 17 ).
