Getting Started

Following Your Route

Your route is marked with a magenta 

line. As you travel, your nüvi guides you 

to your destination with voice prompts, 

arrows on the map, and directions at the 

top of the map. The upper-left corner 

indicates the distance to your next 

maneuver and the lane you should be in 

for the maneuver.
If you depart from the original route, 

your nüvi recalculates the route and 

provides new directions. 

Adding a Via Point

You can add a stop (Via Point) to your 

route. The nüvi gives you directions 

to the stop and then to your final 

destination. 

1.  With a route active, touch 

Menu

 > 

Where To?

2.

 

Search for the extra stop. 

3.  Touch 

Go!

.

4.  Touch 

Add As a Via Point

 to add this 

stop before your destination. 

If you want to add more than one stop 

to the route, edit the current route. See 

page 12.
