Itinerary planning

Itinerary planning

What is an Itinerary?

An Itinerary is a plan for a trip with more stops than just your final destination. 

An Itinerary is made up of the following items:
• Destinations - places you want to stop
• Waypoints - places you want to pass

Here’s an example of an Itinerary:

When would I use an Itinerary?

You could use an Itinerary for these kinds of trips:
• A road trip through a country with lots of stops.
• A two day car trip with an overnight stop.
• A short drive which passes particular Points of Interest.

In all these examples you could tap 

Navigate to...

 for each place. However, if 

you use an Itinerary, you can save time by programming everything in 

advance.

Destinations are shown with this symbol.

Waypoints are shown with this symbol.
