Planning a route in advance

your starting point and your destination. You could, for example, do the 
following:
• Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.

• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you, so that you can 
explain the route to them.

Finding alternative routes6.

Finding alternative routesOnce you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the 
route, without changing your destination.
Why change the route?
Maybe for one of these reasons:
• You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.
• You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for 
lunch or fill up with petrol.
• You want to avoid a difficult junction or a road you don’t like.

Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location, 
perhaps to pick someone up on the way.
You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a 
destination. So you can select from all the same options: for example, 
Address, Favourite, Point of Interest and Point on map.
Your RIDER will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the 
location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your RIDER does not 
inform you when you pass...
