Planning a route using the map

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 using the map, do the following:

1. Move the map and zoom in until you can see the destination that you want to navigate to.

   Tip: You can also select a map symbol to open the pop-up menu, then select the Drive/Ride button to plan a route to that location.

   

2. When you have found your destination on the map, select it by pressing and holding the screen for about one second.

   A pop-up menu shows the nearest address.

   

3. To plan a route to this destination, select Drive/Ride depending on which device you are using.

   A route is planned and then guidance to your destination begins. As soon as you start driving, the guidance view is shown automatically.

   Tip: You can use the location you selected in other ways, such as adding it to My Places, by selecting the pop-up menu button.

   

   Tip: If your destination is in a different time zone, you see a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign and the time difference in hours and half hours in the arrival information panel. The estimated time of arrival is the local time at your destination.

   Tip: You can add a stop to a route that you have already planned.

   Tip: You can save a route using My Routes.
