Finding an alternative route

Important: In the interest of safety and to avoid distractions while you are driving, you should always plan a route before you start driving.

To find an alternative route, do the following:

1. Plan a route as usual.
2. On the map view, select the route itself.
3. Select the pop-up menu button to open the menu.
4. Select Alternative Route and then select Find alternative.

   Up to three alternative routes are shown on the map view. Each alternative route shows the difference in travel time in a balloon. You can also select the km/mi button to show the difference as a distance.

   Tip: Information from the Lifetime Traffic service is used when calculating alternative routes. Any route that is 50% longer in time than the original route is not shown.

   

Route details panel gives you, for the chosen route:

• The arrival time
• The distance
• Any delay on the route (such as traffic jams, roadworks) that affect your arrival time
• Icons that represent specific features of the route, such as tolls, or motorway, or tunnels, that may affect your journey.

1. Swipe left and right to view details of the other routes. As you do this, the route is highlighted on the map.
2. Select your chosen route by tapping on the Drive button

   Guidance to your destination begins. As soon as you start driving, the guidance view is shown automatically.

Note: You can also find alternative routes when you select Current Route in the Main Menu, followed by Find Alternative.
