3 Using the navigation
By default, Alpine Navigation System calculates routes using the road network of the maps provided
with the product.
You can select the destination and start navigating to it right away (normal navigation) if you need a
route for immediate navigation.
You can also plan a route independently of your current GPS position even without GPS reception. To
achieve this, you need to set a new starting point in the Multipoint Route menu. It also suspends
guidance so that the route is not recalculated when a new position is received. See Page 47.
You can plan routes with multiple destinations by selecting a first and a second destination and
adding it to your route. You can add as many destinations to your route as you like. See Page 42.
You can also use Alpine Navigation System for Off-Road navigation. See page 57.
The following sections describe how to select a destination, view and modify the route or use
navigation-related features with the help of the touch screen.
3.1 Selecting a destination
You can choose your destination by selecting one of the following options:
• Using Freeform Search to search among different destination types at once, see page 24
• Entering a full address or a part of an address, for example a street name without a house
number, see page 26
• Selecting a Place as your destination, see page 31
• Selecting a Saved Location as your destination, see page 38
• Selecting a location from the History of previously used destinations, see page 39
• Entering the coordinate of the destination, see page 40
• Selecting a location on the map, see page 41
• Planning a multipoint route, see page 42.
3.1.1 Using Freeform Search
There are several ways to select your destination. You can initiate a separate search for addresses,
Places, Saved Locations, or recent destinations, but the fastest way to search for any of these is to
use Freeform Search.
Perform the following steps to use Freeform Search:
1. Press the navigation hardkey button to access the Navigation menu.
