Using Suggested Routes

location and enable the travel history feature (Device Settings,
page 20).
Using the myTrends™ feature, your device predicts your
destination based on your travel history, the day of the week,
and the time of day. After you have driven to a saved location
several times, the location may appear in the navigation bar on
the map, along with the estimated time of travel, and traffic
information.
Select the navigation bar to view a suggested route to the
location.
