Route guidance

Route guidance shows the straightest route and the

shortest distance to the destination, measured in a straight

line. It ignores any obstacles on the route, such as buildings

and natural obstacles, or differences in altitude. Route

guidance is active only when you move. Start the route

guidance outdoors to receive the necessary information from

the satellites.
