a place on the map or point of interest. The easiest
way is by voice.

prompted say “Destination street address”.
2) The system will ask you to say the full address

such as: “One two three Main Street, Anytown”.
You can also use the touch screen to enter a
destination and narrow your choices by city or
street as you type. You can choose from up to three different types
of routes:
-
Fastest: Uses the fastest moving roads possible.
- Shortest: Uses the shortest distance possible.
- Eco (EcoRoute): Uses the most fuel
efficient route.
