Taking a Detour
If for any reason you find that you want to take an alternate route around a
particular road segment — no problem! CoPilot can calculate a detour on
command, tell you how much longer it will be, and then give you the option
to accept the new route or cancel it and return to the original route at any
time.
To have CoPilot generate a detour, press the View softkey in either the
Safety or Map screen. Then select Actions > Detour. You will see the
new route appear on the map (your old route will be drawn in blue). To
reject the new route and return to the original route at any time, select
Actions > Cancel Detour.
Selective Routing — Avoiding Roads
To avoid an individual road and have CoPilot calculate another route around
that road, you must be in the Itinerary screen. From there, highlight the
road you want to avoid in the scrollable list and highlight it, then press the
Menu softkey and select Actions > Avoid Road.
To cancel any road preferences that have been set and return to your
original route, select Actions > Cancel Avoid.
Selective Routing — What Are Waypoints?
“Waypoints” are not treated like stops in the Itinerary for your trip, their
purpose is to guide CoPilot route calculations along roads that you choose.
To change a stop to a waypoint, highlight the stop in the My Stops screen,
press the Menu softkey, then select Actions > Set as Waypoint. On the
stop list, the flag icon next to this stop will be replaced by a round icon with
an arrow pointing to the right.
To change a waypoint back to a stop, choose Actions > Set as Stop from
the menu.
CoPilot ignores waypoints when calculating the ETA and distance to the
next stop, so setting waypoints can be used to get the ETA and distance to
a stop that is not your next stop (see Getting ETA’s and Distances, p. 47).
