When you have entered a single destination and started route guid-
ance, the system switches automatically to route selection display.
The route highlighted after the automatic switch to map display is 
the route which was calculated according to the criteria 
page 141 
that you set. For e x ample, if you set “fast in the “Route criteria”, the 
route with the shortest estimated arrival time is highlighted after switching automatically to the map display. You are also offered a 
second fastest and a short route as a selection where possible.”
If you do not select any of the routes suggested, the route marked 
is automatically imported after a delay once the trip has started or 
during the trip. The delay gives you the opportunity to change the 
route selection one more time.

The estimated time for the possible routes depends on the various 
route options. As soon as the calculation is complete, these routes 
are shown on the map display. In some cases, visual overlaps may 
result,  in which c ase the route ca n be distinguished  vis ually on ly by 
the change in the distance given or the estimated time of arrival.

Tips
If the Avoid route from here fun ction is  greyed out or the Na vig a-
tion System does not calculate an alternate route, local conditions 
are making this impossible.

automatically calculates a new route from the current position 
without given further consideration to the previously closed 
section.
