Planning a route to a city centre

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 plan a route to a city centre using search, do the following:

  1. Tap Search at the top of the VIO app map.
  2. Enter the name of the city you want to plan a route to.

    You can search for a town, city, or postcode.

    Tip: To search for a specific city you can use the city's postcode or the country. For example, searching for Essen will return many results. If you search for Essen 2910 or Essen Belgium then that city will be at the top of the results. You can then search in the city.

    Tip: When searching, the whole map is searched. If you want to change how the search is done, select the search type button, then select a search option.

  3. As you type, suggestions based on what you have entered are shown in columns. You can continue typing or select a suggestion.

    Tip: To see more results, hide the keyboard or scroll down the results list.

    Tip: You can switch between seeing the results on the map or in a list by selecting the list/map button:

  4. Select the city in the Addresses column.

  5. Select the Points of Interest column, then Select the city centre POI.

    The city centre location is shown on the map.

  6. Select Ride.

    A route is planned and then guidance to your destination begins on your VIO device.

    Tip: You can add a stop to a route that you have already planned. (Android only.)

    Tip: You can save a route using My Routes. (Android only.)
