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.
