3 On-road navigation
When first started, Alpine-NAVI calculates routes using the road network of the high
quality vector maps provided with the product.
You can set up your route in different ways:
•
If you need a route for immediate navigation, you can select the destination and start
navigating to it right away (normal navigation).
•
You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without
GPS reception (to achieve this, you need to turn off the GPS receiver and set a new
starting point in Route / Edit Route by tapping the flag icon at the current position).
You can plan routes with multiple destinations. Select the first destination. Then select a
second destination and add it to your route to create a multi-point route. You can add as
many destinations to your route as you like.
You can also use Alpine-NAVI for off-road navigation. For details, see page 63.
3.1 Selecting the destination of a route
The software offers you several ways of choosing your destination:
•
Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house
number or the names of two intersecting streets (page 25).
•
Enter an address with postal code (page 32). This way you do not need to select the
name of the city/town and the search for street names might be faster as well.
•
Use a built-in Place of Interest as your destination (page 34).
•
Use the free form search to find an address or Place (page 44).
•
Select a location on the map with the Find on Map feature (page 45).
•
Use a previously saved Address Book entry (page 46).
•
Select a location from the History of previously used destinations (page 47).
•
Enter the coordinate of the destination (page 48).
•
Use the location where a photo was taken (page 49).
3.1.1 Entering an address or a part of the address
If you know at least a part of the address, it is the quickest way to select the destination of the
route.
Using the same screen, you can find an address by entering:
•
the exact address, including house number
•
the centre of a city/town
•
an
intersection
•
the midpoint of a street
•
any of the above, starting the search with the postal code (page 32)
You can also search for an address with the free form search (page 44).
