Avoid on every route
You can choose to avoid ferries and car shuttle trains, toll roads, carpool lanes, and unpaved roads.
Set how your VIA should manage each of these road features when the device calculates a route.
Carpool lanes are sometimes known as High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes (HOV) and are not present in
every country. To travel on these lanes, you may need to have more than one person in the car, for
example, or the car may need to use environmentally-friendly fuel.
Maps
Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Maps.
Changing the map
Select Change map to change the map that you are using.
You can choose from maps stored either in internal memory or memory cards if your VIA has a
memory card slot.
Important: Routes and tracks cannot be stored on the same memory card as maps because different
memory card formatting is used.
Note: Although you can store more than one map on your VIA, you can only use one map at a
time for planning and navigation.

Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Sounds & Warnings.
On this screen, you can change sound and warning settings.
