Planning a route to an address, a POI or a contact using search

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 an address using search, do the following:

1. Tap Search at the top of the VIO app map.
2. Enter the name of the address, Point of Interest or contact you want to plan a route to.

   

   You can search for an address, town, city, postcode, mapcode, POI name or contact name.

   Note: When searching, the whole map is searched. If you want to change how the search is done, select the button below the search box. You can then change where the search is done, for example, to being along the route or in a city.

   Note: To plan a route using a contact in your smartphone contacts app, the contact must have a full address.

3. As you type the address, 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 Addresses, Points of Interest or Contacts to see the suggestions for each column, then select a suggestion.
5. For an address, you can enter the house number if you have one.

6. For a POI or a contact, the location is shown on the map.
7. Select Ride.

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