Routes
A route is a path from your current location to one or more destinations.
• The device calculates a recommended route to your destination based on the preferences you set, including
the route calculation mode (Changing the Route Calculation Mode, page 13) and avoidances (Avoiding
Delays, Tolls, and Areas, page 18).
• The device can automatically avoid roads that are not appropriate for the active vehicle profile.
• You can start navigating to your destination quickly using the recommended route, or you can select an
alternate route (Starting a Route, page 13).
• If there are specific roads you need to use or avoid, you can customize the route (Shaping Your Route,
page 17).
• You can add multiple destinations to a route (Adding a Location to Your Route, page 17).
