Modifying a Route After you have practiced creating and saving simple routes, then you are ready to learn how to modify them to suit more specific needs. Recalculating a Route If you decide to temporarily part from your current route, you can select Recalculate from the Route menu to calculate a new route from your current location to your destination. The StreetPilot will recalculate and update your route. Adding a Detour While you are navigating a route, you might come to a roadblock or other obstruction that will create a need for you to take a detour from your current route. If this happens, simply select the Detour icon from the Route menu. A Detour Distance window will appear. You can alter your route for either 1/2, 1, 2, 5, or 15 miles. If you are in New York City, for example, and you see that the next few blocks are unusually congested with traffic, you might want to opt for a 1/2-mile detour. Once you select a distance, your StreetPilot will calculate a new route and provide you with new instructions. Note that, on some routes, the route you are currently taking might be the only reasonable option. In this case, you will not be able to take a detour. Also, your StreetPilot makes every possible attempt to get you back on the original route at your requested distance; however, the distance may be longer if no other roads exist that can get you back to the original route. Your StreetPilot remembers detours you set each time this route is calculated until you stop the current navigation or until you turn off the unit. Reference Creating Routes Select a distance from which to detour from your current route. To cancel a detour, select Detour from the Route menu. 33
