Choosing New Destinations while Navigating

So far we've taught you all the ways to make the iWAY generate a route for you from scratch. No matter which method you use, the iWAY responds in the same way. It begins examining the roads between your current position, and your selected destination.

If you’re already navigating to a destination, though, the iWAY will be- have a little differently. The iWAY needs to know whether you want to cancel your previous navigation, or put it on hold while you visit this new location. You can even schedule to visit the new location after you finish your current route.

If you choose to Go To a new destination while you’re navigating, the following dialog will appear.

Choose how to add a new destination to a current route.

Detour Here will make the iWAY immediately navigate you to the se- lected location. Once you arrive there, the iWAY will resume navigating to your previous destination. This can be useful when you’re traveling to a destination and want to stop for lunch along the way. Search for the nearest restaurant, detour to the restaurant, and then the iWAY will automatically switch back to your real destination.

New Final Destination will add the new location to the end of your cur- rent route. So if you’re currently navigating to a nearby restaurant and choose to set a gas station as your New Final Destination, the iWAY will direct you to the restaurant first, and send you on to the gas sta- tion after you’ve finished eating.

Cancel Current Navigation will stop navigating to your old destination, and start you navigating to the new location.
