Choosing an Alternate Route on an Automotive Device

Automotive devices calculate a recommended route based on the navigation settings (and vehicle profile on RV and dēzl devices).

In some cases you may want to take a different route and save it.

• You can select an alternate route or use shaping points.

  • Shaping points are waypoints added to a route to direct the device to use specific roads when navigating without adding a via point or destination.

• You can save and further edit an Active Route the device is currently on in Trip Planner.

See steps below to select, save and edit routes:

To Select an Alternate Route:

1. After selecting your location, touch the Routes option instead of Go

2. Select an Alternate Route and touch Go

To Edit (Shape) the Route Manually:

1. Touch Edit Route

2. Select a location on the map

• • Allow the route time to calculate.

3. Touch the map again for each additional location

4. Touch Go when you finish shaping the route

You can add up to 30 shaping points to your route.

After hitting Go the device will calculate and have you on an Active Route. This Active Route can be edited further and saved in Trip Planner.

To Edit and Save an Active Route:

1. Touch Apps

2. Touch Trip Planner

3. Touch Saved Trips

• • Skip this step on some devices.

4. Touch My Active Route

5. If edits to the active route are needed, touch the menu _, or wrench icon in the top left

Editing and Trip options may vary to include:

• • Route Preference

  • Suggest Attractions

  • Shape Route

  • Stop Route

  • View Turns

  • Edit Schedule

6. Once edits have been made, go back to the Active Route and touch Save 

7. Type the desired name for the route, then touch Done

The custom route will now be saved as a trip in Trip Planner.
