Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you can always obtain your current location either by touching the Vehicle Position icon or by using the voice control system and saying “Display current location.” A screen pops up which shows the address of your current location, as well as the latitude, longitude, and elevation.
NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the system is temporarily lacking proper GPS information. The system elevation may not agree with elevations shown on roadside elevation signs, and may fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
You can store the current location for later use. It does not change or cancel your current route.
For example, you are following the system’s directions to get to a destination. While sitting at a stoplight you notice a store on the corner, but do not have time to visit it right now. You can save the location to select as a destination at a later date.
To save the location, say “Save current location” or select Save on the screen. When you select “User 1” or “User 2,” the Edit address book screen with the current location data will appear. You can edit the name, phone number, or category name to be saved in your personal Address Book.
After the location is saved, select Return to return to the map screen. You can then use Address Book from the Enter destination by screen to select the saved location and return to the same spot.

Changing the Route
While en route, you may wish to alter your route, add an interim “Waypoint” (pit stop), choose a different destination, or cancel your current destination.
To change your pres ent route, you can do any of the following:
Say “Menu,” or press the MENU button to view the Change route by screen:
• Search waypoint (page 63)
• Delete waypoint (page 65)
• Avoid streets (page 65)
• Detour (page 65)
• Change routing method (page 65)
• Cancel the current route (page 66)
• Back to the current route (page 66)
Choose a different destination (other methods) by:

• Saying “Go home” (page 66).
• Using the joystick to select a different POI or address on the map (page 66).
•Pressing the MENU button twice to get to the Enter destination by screen (page 68).
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 41).
