By pressing the "Enter" button, you have a number of options displayed. As well as delete destination, another option is to turn the volume to -0- so it's not bleating instructions when you don't want.

The button POS will lock the navi back on your car, while it's on your car press the joystick straight down (as-in IN, not down) and it will bring up a menu, click on delete destination, or detour whatever it is i you want to do.
Make sure you hit POS first, if your cursor isn't on your car it wont give you the delete destination option.

I've done that thinking it would turn off the Nav, but the voice still talks to you and tries to keep you turning towards the entered destination.
The only way is to delete the destination using the technique Paul_in_DC and cleoent mentioned.

The funny thing is, did you ever notice the message that comes up when you first turn it on? Something like "Don't look at the map while driving." WTF?!? Of course you look at the map while driving - that's half the fun of using it.

REAL sports car drivers use carbon fiber maps. Going with paper maps will add at least 20 lbs to the car.
