Finding alternative routes

Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the 

route, without changing your destination.

Why change the route? 

Maybe for one of these reasons:
• You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.
• You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for 

lunch or fill up with gas.

• You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don’t like.

Find alterna-

tive...

Tap 

Find alternative...

 in the Main Menu to change the route that is 

currently planned. 

Then tap one of the options below.

Calculate 

alternative

Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned. 

Your ONE will look for another route from your current location to your 

destination.

If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap 

Recalculate original

Why would I need to do this?

Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new 

route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an 

easy way of calculating a totally different route. 

Avoid 

roadblock

Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then 

have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.

Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your ONE 

will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance 

you selected. 

Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off 

the road you are on very soon.

If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap 

Recalculate original

 to return to your 

original route.
