ENTERING ADDRESS CORRECTLY::cool:
When entering an address into the Nav system, work from bottom level upward. Start by entering country, State, Zip code, Street name and number.
Tip: If you enter wrong info, say zip code - the system will not allow you to enter the correct address even though it does exist in database.

TRUE NORTH::cool:
Recently the "header" or compass located in the top right corner was changed. In previous versions, this spinning arrow was a heading directional NOT a compass.
In the 1.20.1 version update this icon is now a true compass! The arrow will now point North when you use the top of the icon as your direction of travel.

DETOURS::cool:
If you are on a route and deviate from your original plan, The navigation may try to send you BACK to your last Way Point. To fix this, there is a "SKIP" button in the on screen pop out menu that allows you to omit that last way point and move along to the next one.

POI's::cool:
Occasionally the Nav system tries to send to a Point of Interest you've already passed. To change this, go to the POI Search screen and change the bottom setting from "Near your location" to "Along my Route". This assures you get results that are AHEAD of you.
NOTE: This option is only available if you are already ON the route.
 
Good tips!

When you start or continue on a saved GPS trip segment, don't pick start or your present location. Pick the next point or location along the route. Only pick the start if you need to go there.
