How to plan your first route
7. The fastest route from your current position
to your destination is then calculated.
This should only take a few seconds and
its progress is shown on the screen. When
done, a summary is shown, on a suitably
scaled map.
Studying this summary can be useful for you to get a
feel for your journey's scope and to check if the route
includes roads that you'd rather avoid (in which case,
see 'Finding alternative routes', below).
8. Select 'Done' and you'll find yourself back
at the main navigation view, but with the
route now clearly coloured in for you.
Helping with your journey
That's the planning all done, so simply buckle
your seat belt and drive. As you approach a
specific turn in the calculated route, your chosen
voice will tell you what to do. For example,
"In 100 metres, turn left", followed by "Turn left",
without you having to take your eyes off the road.
As you travel, following the voice instructions,
you'll notice that the navigation view is updated
constantly, always showing coming roads and
junctions and presenting the best route to you.
Don't worry if you miss a turn or drive down the wrong
road. A new fastest route will be calculated automati-
cally, based on your new position and direction of travel.
Wherever you go, it will always give you instructions
that will take you to your chosen destination.

What's on the screen?

Much of the information on the main navigation
view is configurable (see the 'Preferences' chap-
ter for details).
If you miss a voice instruction, tap on the turn
instruction in the bottom left hand corner to
generate a new one. And if you'd like to view the
route summary again, tap anywhere in the journey
information panel in the bottom right hand corner.
Most of the time, the voice and turn instructions
are all you need to navigate successfully, which
means never having to take your eyes off the road.
At complicated junctions, where simple instructi-
ons aren't adequate to describe the path to take,
the navigation view comes into its own. A quick
comparison between the screen and the world in
front of you should be all you need.
Tip: No instruction is shown or spoken at junctions which
require no action. In towns and cities especially, don't be
concerned that you are passing side-roads and driving
over crossroads without any instruction.
