Plan a route

Plan your journey, create your route and see it on the map before setting off.

Create a route

  2. Press the scroll key or tap the location’s information area () and select Add to route.
  3. To add another route point, select Add new route point and the appropriate option.

Change the order of the route points

  1. Select a route point by pressing the scroll key or tapping it on the map.
  2. Select Move.
  3. Go to the place where you want to move the route point to, and select OK or tap the point on the map.

Change the settings for a route
The route settings affect the navigation guidance and the way the route is displayed on the map.

  1. In the route planner view, open the Settings tab. To get to the route planner view from the navigation view, select Options > Route points or Route point list.
  2. Set the transportation mode to Drive or Walk. If you select Walk, one-way streets are regarded as normal streets, and walkways and routes through, for example, parks and shopping centres, can be used.
  3. Select the desired option.

Select the walking mode
Open the Settings tab, and select Walk > Preferred route > Streets or Straight line. Straight line is useful on off-road terrain as it indicates the walking direction.

Use the faster or shorter driving route
Open the Settings tab, and select Drive > Route selection > Faster route or Shorter route.

Use the optimised driving route
Open the Settings tab, and select Drive > Route selection > Optimised. The optimised driving route combines the advantages of both the shorter and the faster routes.

You can also choose to allow or avoid using, for example, motorways, toll roads, or ferries.
