Finding alternative routes6. 12 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. Change route Tap this button in the Main Menu to change the currently planned route. Avoid roadblock Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid. Choose from the different options. Your Start will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance you selected. Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off the road you are on very soon. If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your original route. Calculate alternative Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned. Your Start will look for another route from your current location to your destination. If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap Recal- culate original. Why would I need to do this? Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an easy way of calculating a totally different route.
13 Recalculate original Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid roadblocks or travelling via particular locations. Travel via... Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location, perhaps to pick someone up on the way. When you do this, a marker is shown on the map for the location you choose the travel via. 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 Start will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your Start does not inform you when you pass by this location. Plan route Tap this button to plan a new route. When you plan a new route, the old one will be deleted. Clear route Tap this button to delete the current route.
