the list; the oldest record is the last in the list. 100 records can be stored in the History list. When another record must be entered but the

list is completely full, the last item in the list is removed and the new record is displayed.

you must configure them. Home is always the first item in the list. Office is always the second item in the list.

Refer to Set new home location or Set new office location for configuration details. Home and Office locations are always displayed in the list, regardless of the filtering

Contacts Editor [* S60]

Voice Instructions

During navigation, for each change of direction (“turn”), ROUTE 66 Mobile 8 provides both a visual instruction and a voice instruction.

Generally, a voice instruction is heard twice:

 first in advance (the warning distance is approx. 300 meters or yards before the

actual change of direction);

 secondly, when the turn must be done (the warning distance is approx. 50 meters

or yards before the actual change of direction).

Notes: The warning distance differs from case to case. ROUTE 66 Mobile 8 takes into account the

type of turn and the current navigation speed, and estimates the driver’s reaction time.

When you drive in the city, the speed is lower so the warning distance is short; when you drive on the motorway, the speed is higher so the warning distance increases.

During navigation and for safety reasons, we recommend you to keep the sound switched on and listen to the voice instructions! This way, you can concentrate on the road ahead of you and avoid any unpleasant driving situations!

To configure the sound intensity of the voice instructions, refer to Settings > General > Volume and Settings > Navigation > Call handling.

ROUTE 66 MOBILE 8 User Manual

To change the language of the voice instructions, refer to Settings > General > Voice language.

To configure the sound intensity of your device, refer to your mobile phone’s User Manual. To turn off the voice instructions, press 9.

What is Trip Planning?

Depending on the complexity of a route, and the frequency of using this route, you can start navigating:

 by simply indicating your destination and, if necessary, a waypoint along the route.

This is a much faster way of starting navigating, but the locations are lost once you

reach your destination.

 by planning all locations that must be included in the route. The major advantages

are:

 you can add as many locations as you need.

 you can change the order of each location in the trip sequence.

 you can see the entire route displayed on the map.

 you can play a trip demonstration on your device, before the actual navigation.

 you can save the trip for future navigations.

 you can send the route details to other users.

 you can call the selected waypoint (if phone number is available).

Plan New Route

Avoid Trip Sections

For various reasons (ex. crowded areas, accidents, road works), you may decide to avoid a part of the planned route. Thus, that road segment is excluded (avoided) from your trip. An alternative route is calculated automatically, and you can continue your navigation without any interruption.

During navigation, you can avoid a part of the planned route in two ways: Select Options > Define road block. Open the list view, select the traffic incident and then select Avoid incident. Notes: In some special cases (for example, a motorway segment without any exits), you can set

road blocks but it might not be possible to find an alternative route. You will continue navigating on the initial route.

When the navigation completes (you reached your destination), the road blocks are removed from the calculated route and from the current map.

ROUTE 66 MOBILE 8 User Manual

100 %S .

 Select from list – you open the list view. Refer to Avoid incident section for details.
