3 Using the navigation

By default, Z-N326 calculates routes using the road network of the maps provided with the

product.
You can select the destination and start navigating to it right away (normal navigation) if you

need a route for immediate navigation.
You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position even without GPS

reception. To achieve this, you need to set a new starting point in the Multipoint Route menu.

It also suspends guidance so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is

received. See

Page 47

You can plan routes with multiple destinations by selecting a first and a second destination

and adding it to your route. You can add as many destinations to your route as you like. See

Page 44

You can also use Z-N326 for off-road navigation. See page 56.

3.1 Selecting a destination

You can choose your destination by selecting one of the following options:

•

Using combined search to search among different destination types at once, see page

•

Entering a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a

house number, see page 27

•

Selecting a Place as your destination, see page 33

•

Selecting a previously saved location as your destination, see page 39

•

Selecting a location from the History of previously used destinations, see page 40

•

Selecting a previously saved route, see page 42

•

Entering the coordinate of the destination, see page 42

•

Selecting a location on the map, see page 44

•

Planning a multipoint route, see page 44.

3.1.1 Using combined search

There are several ways to select your destination. You can initiate a separate search for

addresses, Places, saved locations, or recent destinations, but the fastest way to search for

any of these is to use combined search.
Perform the following steps to use combined search:

1. Tap

on the

Navigation view
