Cursor menu

The Cursor is the selected point on the map (marked by a red dot and radiating red circles around it), or the current GPS position when it is available and Lock-to-Position is enabled.

Tapping the , or using the Go to menu, the map with the Cursor menu is displayed to give you the list of possible functions you can use the Cursor for.

The content of the Cursor menu is slightly different if there is an active route already planned, and if you are near to a route point. You have the following options:

Button

Function

 

 

Set as Start

Use the Cursor as the departure point for your route. This

 

disables routing from the current GPS position and automatic

 

off-route recalculation. If a route existed before, the Via points

 

and the destination remains the same.

 

 

Remove Start

This button replaces “Set as Start“, if the Cursor is at or near

 

to the start point of the route. Tap it to remove the start point

 

of the route.

 

 

Add Via

By inserting the selected map point as a via, you instruct the

 

Travel Companion to cross this location before the destination

 

of the route. This is the way to build a multi-point route in

 

reverse order (when you wish to insert a stopover ‘go to A but

 

first get some fuel at B’ or you need to influence the direction

 

of the route). This menu point works only if a route is already

 

active.

 

 

Remove Via

This button replaces “Add Via“, if the Cursor is at or near to any

 

of the Via points of the route. Tap it to remove that particular

 

Via point from the route.

 

 

Continue

This button adds a new final destination after the previous

 

destination. The new destination replaces the old one, which

 

is now demoted to a Via point. This is the way to build your

 

multi-point route in straight order (when you wish to visit

 

several destinations ‘go to A then to B’). This menu point is

 

available only if a route is already active.

 

 

Set as Destination

Use the Cursor as the destination of your route. This button is

 

to start a new route. The previous route (if it exists) is deleted

 

and replaced. If a multi-point route is active, the Travel

 

Companion asks you whether you really need to delete it

 

together with all its Via points.

 

 

Remove Destination

This button replaces “Set as Destination“, if the Cursor is at or

 

near to the destination of the route. Tap it to remove the

 

destination of the route promoting the last Via point as the new

 

destination.

 

 

Save as Favorite

Save the cursor as one of your favorite destinations. Select one

 

position in the Favorite list, and it is filled/replaced with the

 

details of the cursor.

 

 

Add POI

Save the cursor as a user POI. Give a name, an icon, and

 

select a POI group for the new POI.

 

 

Add Speedcam

Save the Cursor as the position of a road safety camera. Select

 

the type, the direction of the camera, and the speed limit

 

checked.
