Choosing an Alternate Route on an Automotive Device
Automotive devices calculate a recommended route based on the navigation settings, the mapping installed (and vehicle profile on 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 location to stop at.
- You can save and further edit an Active Route the device is currently on in Route Planner.
See the steps to select, edit, and save routes in the dropdowns below:
