Finding alternative routes

Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the 

route, without changing your destination.

Maybe for one of these reasons:
• You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.
• You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for 

lunch or fill up with petrol.

• You want to avoid a difficult junction or a road you don’t like.

Tap this button in the Main Menu to change the currently planned route.

Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then 

have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.

Choose from the different options. Your Start will recalculate your route 

avoiding the section of the route for the distance you selected.

Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off 

the road you are on very soon.

If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your 

original route.

Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.

Your Start will look for another route from your current location to your 

destination.

If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap Recal-

culate original.

Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new 

route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an 

easy way of calculating a totally different route.
