Driving to Your Destination
WaypointWaypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For instance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to your destination.
Although you can enter up to five places
including the destination 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.
When you enter waypoints, they appear
on the map screen as small red flags
numbered 1-4.

matches that lie within a corridor on
either side and in front of your route.
From SEARCH AROUND, the system
displays matches that are a uniform
