What is the Detour button for?

The Detour button is used to calculate a new route if possible to avoid something ahead of you. The device will take you off the current route and will attempt to get you back on your original route as quickly as possible.

If the route you are currently navigating is the only reasonable option according to your navigation settings, the device might not calculate a detour.

The Detour button can be touched on the map tool under View Map, it will give the following detour options:

  • 1/2 Mile
  • 2 Miles
  • 5 Miles
  • Detour By Road(s) in Route

The 1/2 Mile, 2 Miles, and 5 Miles option will navigate you off the route for the selected distance.

The Detour By Road(s) on Route option will provide a list of the roads along your route that you can select to specifically detour around.

You have the the ability to customize shortcuts to various other device features using Map Tools. This allows for quick access to additional information while navigating. The information will show on the right side of the View Map screen.
