3 Navigating with IGO 8
You can set up your route in IGO 8 in several ways:
• if you need a simple route (a route with only one destination, without any intermediate via
points), you can select the destination and start navigating to it right away
• you can plan a multi-point route (available in Advanced mode only)
• you can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position or even without GPS
reception (available in Advanced mode only)
3.1 Selecting the destination of a route
IGO 8 offers you several ways of choosing your destination and via points (intermediate destinations):
• Use the selected location on the map (the Cursor) (page 32).
•
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 33).
•
Enter an address with postal code (page 39). This way you do not need to select the name of
the settlemen
t and the search for street names might be faster as well.
• Use a coordinate (page 43)
•
Use a saved location:
• a Favourite (page 41)
•
a POI (page 41)
•
the History of previously set destinations and waypoints (page 43)
