    About My Places 
    My Places provides an easy way to select a location without the need to search for the location each 
    time. You can use My Places to create a collection of useful or favourite addresses. 
    Tip: The terms favourite and place mean the same thing - favourites are places that you go to 
    often. 
    The following items are always in My Places: 
     Home - Your home location can be your home address or somewhere you often visit. This 
    feature provides an easy way to navigate there. 
     Work - Your work location can be your workplace address or somewhere you visit often. This 
    feature provides an easy way to navigate there. 
     Recent destinations - Select this button to select your destination from a list of locations you 
    have recently used as destinations. These also include your stops. 
     Marked locations - You can mark a location and temporarily add it to My Places. 
    You can add a location to My Places directly in My Places, by selecting a location from the map, by 
    searching for a location or by marking a location. 
    Your home location, work location, marked locations and the locations that you have added appear 
    in a list in My Places and are shown with a marker on the map.

    quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.

    You can choose to avoid ferries and car shuttle trains, toll roads, carpool lanes, and unpaved roads. 
    Set how your GO should manage each of these road features when the device calculates a route.  
    Carpool lanes are sometimes known as High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes (HOV) and are not present in 
    every country. To travel on these lanes, you may need to have more than one person in the car, for 
    example, or the car may need to use environmentally-friendly fuel.
