Chapter 8 Finding alternative routes Finding alternative routes Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the route, without changing your destination. Why would I want to change the 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. Find alternative... Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is currently planned. Then tap one of the options below. Calculate alternative Avoid roadblock Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned. Your RIDER will look for another route from your current location to your destination. If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap Recalculate original. Why would I need to do this? Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an easy way of calculating a totally different route. Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid. Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your RIDER will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance you selected. 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 suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your original route. 27
