Reference24Planning and Modifying RoutesPlanning and Modifying RoutesThe quickest way to navigate to a place using your Quest is to find your destination using the FINDkey and routing to it. But if you want to plan trips where your starting location might not be your currentphysical location, use the Quest’s Route Planner feature. For example, you are planning to visit a relative’shouse and you want to plan a route from the relative’s house to a nearby amusement park. Once you plan,create, and save the route, you can retrieve it when you need it and you won’t have to stop to ask for direc-tions or consult a map.The Route Options page lists many options for planning routes. To access the Route Options page, pressMENU, and then select Route Options. You can also press and hold the MENU key on your Quest for twoseconds. The options below are available, although some may be disabled when you view this page if youare not in routing mode. When you create a route and activate it, the following options appear:Stop or Resume Navigation – Stops the current active (or simulated) route or resumes a stopped route.Vias – Adds or removes an extra stop to be reached on the way to a final destination. A list of via pointscan also be sorted by their closest distance from you, creating an optimal route that visits all vias.Save Route – Saves the active route, or the last route you activated.Set Home Location – Allows you to set a Home location that can be your home, office, or any other placeto which you return most often. Once set, you can opt to go “Home.”Recalculate – Recalculates the active route for faster time or shorter distance. This option is availableonly available in routing mode. (Note: While the route is being calculated, you can stop it by pressing theMENU key and selecting Stop Calculating from the Route Options page.)Detour – Calculates a new route to a destination by avoiding part of the current route. This option is onlyavailable in routing mode.Route Planner – Allows you to create and activate a new route or activate an existing route.Avoidances – Allows you to avoid certain road types that may be undesirable on your route. You can alsoavoid specifi c roads and areas by using the Custom Avoids feature (see page 38).The Quest will use theseroad types only if alternative routes take you too far out of your way or if no other road is available.The options shown above appear while you arenavigating or simulating a route.
