Creating Routes
Creating your own Routes  
Use the ROUTE feature on your StreetPilot unit to create vacation routes, routes to a job interview or 
garage sale, or anywhere! Once you create and save the route, you can retrieve it when you need it and you 
won’t have to stop to ask for directions or consult a map.
The Route Menu lists many options for creating routes. To access the Route Menu, press and hold the  
MENU/ROUTE key on your StreetPilot or remote for two seconds. You can also press MENU, then select 
the Route icon. The options below are available, although all may not appear when you view this page for 
the first time or if you have not yet created a route. When you create a route and activate it, the following 
options appear: 
Recalculate 
 Recalculates the active route for faster time or shorter distance. This option is available only 
when you are viewing an active (or simulated) route.
Stop or Resume Route 
 Stops the current active (or simulated) route or resumes a stopped route.
Add/Edit Vias 
 Adds or removes an extra stop to be reached on the way to a final destination. A list of via 
points can also be sorted by their closest distance from you, creating an optimal route that
intersects all vias. This option is available only when you are viewing an active (or simulated) route.
Detour 
 Calculates a new route to a destination by avoiding part of the current route. This option is avail-
able only when you are viewing an active (or simulated) route.
Return to Start 
 Reverses the route and returns you to the point from which you initiated the route.
The options shown above appear while you are navi-
gating or simulating a route. 
Access the Route Menu above by pressing and holding 
down on the MENU/ROUTE key from your StreetPilot or 
remote control. The first time you access this menu, you 
will see limited options. Your first step, then, is to select 
New to create a route.
F
NOTE: Creating and/or changing routes while driving is dangerous and is not encouraged. 
Consider creating and running routes in “simulated mode.” Set your StreetPilot to indoor 
use by pressing MENU on the unit and selecting the ‘Use Indoors’ icon. This will turn off 
GPS capability and allow you to run your routes in simulated mode. To further ensure safety, 
consider creating and saving routes before you travel. See 
Saving a Route in this section 
of the manual.
