Help

Help provides an easy way to contact and plan a route to locations that provide emer-

gency services, such as a hospital or to other specialized services.

For example, if you are involved in a car accident, you could use Help to call or find the 

phone number for the nearest hospital and tell them your exact location.

You can use Help to plan a route to local services, make contact by phone and inform the 

service about the precise details of your current location.

When you search for a service center, you are shown a list of the nearest services. Select 

one of the services in the list to view their address and phone number and to see your cur-

rent location on the map.

To use Help to locate an emergency service, contact them by phone and plan a route to 

the emergency service location, do the following:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap help.
3. Tap Call for help.
4. Select the type of service you require. For this example, tap Nearest hospital.
5. Select a service from the list. The nearest service is shown at the top of the list. For this 

example, tap the one at the top of the list.

Your current location is shown on the map together with the phone number of the ser-

vice. This helps you to explain where you are when you call the service for help.

6. To plan a route from your current location to the service location, tap Navigate there.

Your navigation device starts guiding you to your destination.
