using either your Garmin Drive device or the Watch Link app on your watch.

TIP: if your Garmin Drive device is connected to a switched power outlet, it saves your parking spot each time you turn off your vehicle. If your device is connected to a non-switched power outlet, you must unplug the vehicle power cable to save your parking spot.

• On your Garmin Drive device, select Apps > Last Spot > Go!.

• On your watch, start the Watch Link app, select Find My Car, and walk toward your parking spot.

NOTE: this feature is available only for Garmin Drive models with Bluetooth wireless technology. This includes models ending in LMT-S.

TIP: to create complex routes with multiple destinations or scheduled stops, you can use the trip planner to plan, schedule, and save a trip (Planning a trip, page 14).

From the map, select > Where To?.

Search for a location (Finding and saving locations,

page 6).

Select a location.

Select Go!.

Select an option:

select Add As Next Stop.

• To add the location to the end of your route, select Add

As Last Stop.

• To add the location and edit the order of destinations in

your route, select Add to Active Route.

The device re-calculates the route to include the added location and guides you to the destinations in order.

Shaping your route

Before you can shape your route, you must start a route (Starting a route, page 3).
