not have time to visit it right now.
You can save the location to select as a
destination at a later date.

navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to the
destination. The driver understands that unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let the navigation system suggest
possible routing. The driver understands that in some
cases, guidance may not be appropriate. Unverified
roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in
location, naming, and address range.
What you will
see...

continually points to your destination. The driver
should stop and then use the
