Planning a route to a city centre
Important: In the interest of safety and to avoid distractions while you are driving, you should
always plan a route before you start driving.
To plan a route to a city centre using search, do the following:
1. Tap Search at the top of the VIO app map.
2. Enter the name of the city you want to plan a route to.
You can search for a town, city, or postcode.
Tip: To search for a specific city you can use the city's postcode or the country. For example,
searching for Essen will return many results. If you search for Essen 2910 or Essen Belgium then
that city will be at the top of the results. You can then search in the city.
Tip: When searching, the whole map is searched. If you want to change how the search is
done, select the search type button, then select a search option.
3. As you type, suggestions based on what you have entered are shown in columns. You can
continue typing or select a suggestion.
Tip: To see more results, hide the keyboard or scroll down the results list.
Tip: You can switch between seeing the results on the map or in a list by selecting the
list/map button:
