3. Tap the latitude or longitude value to change the coordinates. 4. Enter the coordinate values in WGS84 format on the keyboard: the latitude (N or S) and the longitude (E or W). 5. Tap . 6. The map appears with the selected point in the middle. Tap (Simple mode) or (Advanced mode) from the Cursor menu. The route is then automatically calculated, and you can start navigating. 3.2 Creating a multi-point route (inserting a via point) Multi-point routes are created from simple routes, so a route must be active first. One of the ways of expanding the route is to keep the destination, and to add via points (intermediate destinations). This feature is available in Advanced mode only. 1. Select a new location as you did in the previous sections. This will be the additional destination in the route. 2. The map appears with the selected point in the middle, and the Cursor menu opens automatically. 3. Tap to add the point as an intermediate destination preceding the final destination of the route. 4. [optional] To add more points to the route, repeat the above steps as many times as you like. If you insert a via point in a route that is already a multi-point route, you will automatically be taken to the Edit Route screen where you can determine the position of the intermediate route point. When you enter the screen, the new via point is placed as the last via point before the final destination. The new point is the selected point in the list. You have the following options: Button Action The selected point moves up in the list (becomes a via point to be reached earlier). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the start point of the route. The selected point moves down in the list (becomes a via point to be reached later). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the final destination of the route. The route is reversed. The start point becomes the destination, the destination becomes the start point, and all via points are to be reached in the opposite order than before. The route is optimized. The start point and the destination remain at their position, but the via points are reordered to make the shortest possible route. The selected point is removed from the route. The route remains as it was before adding the new point. Every time a new point is added, the route is recalculated automatically, and you can start navigating right away. 34

3.2 Creating a multi-point route (inserting a via point)
Multi-point routes are created from simple routes, so a route must be active first. One of the
ways of expanding the route is to keep the destination, and to add via points (intermediate
destinations).
This feature is available in Advanced mode only.
1.
Select a new location as you did in the previous sections. This will be the additional
destination in the route.
2.
The map appears with the selected point in the middle, and the Cursor menu opens
automatically.
3.
Tap
to add the point as an intermediate destination preceding the
final destination of the route.
4.
[optional] To add more points to the route, repeat the above steps as many times as
you like.
If you insert a via point in a route that is already a multi-point route, you will automatically be
taken to the Edit Route screen where you can determine the position of the intermediate route
point. When you enter the screen, the new via point is placed as the last via point before the
final destination. The new point is the selected point in the list.
You have the following options:
Button
Action
The selected point moves up in the list (becomes a via point to be reached
earlier). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the start point of the
route.
The selected point moves down in the list (becomes a via point to be reached
later). Tap this button repeatedly, and the point becomes the final destination of
the route.
The route is reversed. The start point becomes the destination, the destination
becomes the start point, and all via points are to be reached in the opposite order
than before.
The route is optimized. The start point and the destination remain at their
position, but the via points are reordered to make the shortest possible route.
The selected point is removed from the route. The route remains as it was before
adding the new point.
Every time a new point is added, the route is recalculated automatically, and you can start
navigating right away.
