Using Suggested Routes Before you can use this feature, you must save at least one location and enable the travel history feature (Device and Privacy Settings, page 16). Using the myTrends™ feature, your device predicts your destination based on your travel history, the day of the week, and the time of day. After you have driven to a saved location several times, the location may appear in the navigation bar on the map, along with the estimated time of travel, and traffic information. Select the navigation bar to view a suggested route to the location.
