Working With Routes
With the NAVIGON 5100, you can preplan routes. Planned routes can be saved for later
use, allowing you to create as many routes as you like.

In the M AIN WINDOW :
1. Tap the Options button.
The options list opens.
2. Tap the Route Planning option.
The R OUTE P LANNING WINDOW opens.
Entering the starting point
The starting point of a route, is the point at which you want to begin your trip. This does not
need to be the current location. If you are at home planning a route for your vacation, you
could, for example, enter your hotel as the starting point.
The starting point is only important if you want to see a planned route on the map, but cur-
rently have no GPS reception, or you are not currently at the planned starting point. The
starting point that you enter therefore has the flow number "0".
As soon as you begin navigation, your current location is used as the starting point for the
route calculation.
The first stage is the trip to the route point with the flow number "1".
On the R OUTE P LANNING WINDOW :
1. Tap the Specify Starting Point button.
The S TARTING P OINT menu opens.
