Finding alternative routes

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

route, without changing your destination.

Why change the route? 

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 Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is currently 

planned. 

Then tap one of the options below.

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

Your NAVIGATOR 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 

Recalculate 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. 

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: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your 

NAVIGATOR 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.
