Changing the Route
While on route, you may wish to alter

(pit stop), choose a different destination,
or cancel your current destination.
To change your present route, you can
do any of the following:
Say “Menu,” or press the MENU button
to view the Change route by screen:
 Add a waypoint or pit stop (page
66 ).
 Delete waypoints (page
67)
 Avoid a certain street or streets (page
67).
 Detour (page 67).
 Change routing method (page 67 ).
 Cancel the current route (page
68).
 Back to the current route (page 68). Choose a different destination (other
methods):
 Saying, “Find nearest...” to find a POI
(page
68).
 Saying, “Go home” (page 68).
 Using the joystick to select a different POI or address on the map (page

Pressing the MENU button twice to

screen (page

Change Route By Screen
Pressing the MENU button displays the
Change route by screen:
Waypoints
Waypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For inst ance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to your destination.
Although you can enter up to five
waypoints at a time, typically you may
never use more than one at a time.
Waypoints are routed to in the order
they were entered (number 1 first, etc.),
with your final destination routed to last.
If you wish to create a custom route of
several destinations , and then control
the order of routing, the function
“Today’s Destinations” is probably a
better choice (see By Today’s
Destinations on page
43 ).
