Itinerary planning
Itinerary planning
Although '
Navigate to...
'
is fine for casual travel, it may be that you're planning a journey
that's more ambitious. You may even want to save the details of this journey for future use or to
pass them on to other users. Choose '
Itinerary planning
'
to create a new itinerary or
amend an existing one.
An itinerary is essentially just a list of 'waypoints' and 'destinations'. Your best route is calculated,
visiting each in turn (in the exact order you specify). In general, you'd add a 'destination' when you
wanted countdown information to arrival on the main navigation view, otherwise you'd add a
location as a 'waypoint' that simply has to be traveled through (i.e. it's the 'way you want to go').
A typical itinerary, showing both waypoints to be traveled through and destinations you want
to arrive at.
When first started, the itinerary planner will be empty, of course. Use '
Add
' to select locations in the
normal way, choosing from 'Home', 'Favorite', 'Address', 'Recent destination', and so on. Each
location will be added as a waypoint if the previous one was also a waypoint, otherwise it will be
added as a destination.
