Once
you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the route,
without changing your destination.
Reasons
for changing a 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 gas.
You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don’t like.

START recalculates your route

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 disappears while you are traveling, you can tap
Recalculate original to recalculate your original route. After you tap
Calculate alternative, the button name changes to Recalculate origi-

alternative
Ta
p this button to calculate an alternative to the route already plan-
ned. Your START calculates another route, starting from your current
location.
After you tap Calculate alternative, the button name changes to
Recalculate original. If you later decide you want to travel along the
original route, tap Recalculate original.
Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination,
the new route uses totally different roads to reach your destination.
This is an easy way of calculating a totally different route.
