7 Navigating with Alpine Navigation Software
You can set up your route in Alpine Navigation Software in several ways:
• if you need a simple route (a route with only one destination, without any intermediate
waypoints), you can select the destination and start navigating to it right away
• you can plan a multi-point route
• you can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without GPS
reception
7.1 Selecting the destination of a route
Alpine Navigation Software offers you several ways of choosing your destination and waypoints
(intermediate destinations):
• Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 31).
• Enter a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house number
or the names of two intersecting streets (page 32).
• Enter an address with postal code (page 37). This way you do not need to select the name of
the settlement and the search for street names might be faster as well.
• Use a coordinate (page 40)
• Use a saved location:
• a Favourite (page 38)
• a POI (page 38)
• the History of previously set destinations and waypoints (page 39)
Tip!
If you are going to use a route later, save it before you start navigating.
