When you have entered a single destination and started route guid-
ance, the system switches automatically to route selection display.
The route highlighted after the automatic switch to map display is
the route which was calculated according to the criteria
page 141
that you set. For e x ample, if you set “fast in the “Route criteria”, the
route with the shortest estimated arrival time is highlighted after switching automatically to the map display. You are also offered a
second fastest and a short route as a selection where possible.”
If you do not select any of the routes suggested, the route marked
is automatically imported after a delay once the trip has started or
during the trip. The delay gives you the opportunity to change the
route selection one more time.
Tips
The estimated time for the possible routes depends on the various
route options. As soon as the calculation is complete, these routes
are shown on the map display. In some cases, visual overlaps may
result, in which c ase the route ca n be distinguished vis ually on ly by
the change in the distance given or the estimated time of arrival.

be guided by directional arrows.
If your route guidance includes an IPD area, you will be advised of
this by a voice message when route guidance starts (“It is possible
