72 Navigation System
Driving to Your Destination
Detour
Calculates a detour route for you if you
encounter an unexpected obstacle such
as a closed road or extremely heavy
traffic congestion. If a detour is
selected, the system will attempt to
recalculate a new route, avoiding the
next 2 miles (while on a freeway) or 1/2
mile (while on a surface street).
Avoid Streets
From the Change route by screen, if
you say or select Avoid Streets , the
system displays a list of streets that will
get you to your destination. This feature
allows you to avoid a street or streets
along your route. This is helpful if you
know of road construction, closures, or
excessive traffic along the route. Simply
select the street or streets you wish to
avoid. You cannot avoid your current
street, or the streets of your waypoint(s)
or destination (system beeps if selected).
NOTE:
Although you can choose streets to
avoid, you cannot choose specific
streets you want to use.
Search Waypoint on Route
Waypoints allow you to add an interim
“pit stop” while traveling to a
destination. For instance, you may want
to stop for gas or food, and then
continue on to your destination.
Although you can enter up to five
waypoints at a time, typically you may
never use more than one at a time.
Waypoints are routed to in the order
they were entered (number 1 first, etc.),
with your final destination routed to last.
If you wish to create a custom route of
several destinations, and then control
the order of routing, the function
“Today’s Destinations” is probably a
better choice (see By Today’s
Destinations on page
48 ).
When you enter waypoints, they appear
on the
map screen as small red flags
numbered 1-5.
