THALES NAVIGATION6 Example: Street Routing to CursorIt’s a very simple way to create a route: if your destination is visible on the map- a POI, park, road…anyplace in the detailed map—place the cursor over your desired destination and follow the menu instructions. Routes to nearest street address (interpolated.)

THALES NAVIGATION7 Street Routing to an Address or POIStreet routing to an address requires a little more effort. User can also route to Navtech POIs or User Waypoints using this method. Note that DirectRoute buffers the previous 10 destinations for re-use

THALES NAVIGATION8 Using DirectRoute GuidanceIn Map View, user sees highlighted street route. Next maneuver info is at bottom of screen. As user approaches turn, device beeps and turn advisory pops upGuidance also works in Maneuver List View. The active leg is marked with a green pointer. This view is good for reviewing a route before starting. This view gives less visual feedback than Map View

9 Managing Street RoutesPush GOTO with active street route, get this dialog Reroute – recalculates street route to current destination Stop Routing – erases active street route New GOTO –recalculates a street route from current or last known position to new cursor location.PUSHING “GOTO” TWICE WITH AN ACTIVE ROUTE REROUTES Street routes become active as soon as they are calculated Street routes remain active, even if user powers off/on the GPS receiver. Only one street route can be active, but user can save destinations as waypoints and make a street routes from waypoint routes, if the start and end are inside the active map. (Only Start and End points are used.)
