navigation help
 

once you enter in an address and have it calculate that how do you get it to cancel or just go back to positioning you? Today i put in my home address and had to make some other errons so the whole time the damn thing was telling me to make u turns and all this shit. Anyone who knows please post up

:scratchhe try a search or check the manual?

aw im sorry. i feel your pain, and i have done this, but i cant remember how.
why did i post this answer? im not sure yet.

^ :cwm27:

if you got to the location that you punch in, it will turn it of itself, or you can press the enter button, and pick delete destenation!
you are all set!

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.

thanks guys. and once again my car didnt come with a manual. I am in the process of getting a hard copy for the car but paying 50 bucks for something that i wont use all that much hasnt been justified yet. thanks

i just figured it out today. push enter button in and select "guidance off". takes 2 secs.

even faster - just close the nav screen - about 1 sec

sure if you want to not see it, too bad the lady will still keep giving you directions.

simple and effective...i like it! :yelrotflm

I don't need $50 you can just paypal me $20, that would be fine. :rolleyes:

REAL sports car drivers use MAPS....you know, the paper kind.

(Me...I use a Delorme GPS with my notebook).

:D:

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. :)

Cheaper to buy the CD

That's pretty lame advise.

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