Choosing an Alternate Route on an Automotive Device

Automotive devices calculate a recommended route based on the navigation settings and vehicle profile.

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, edit, and save routes:

To Select an Alternate Route:

1. Touch the Routes option instead of Go

2. Select an Alternate Route and Touch Go

3. Touch the map again for each additional location
