Selecting a Usage Mode
Automobile

Your nüvi offers several usage modes
for navigation methods. Routing
is calculated differently based on
your usage mode. For example, in
Pedestrian mode with cityXplorer
™
maps loaded, a route is calculated
using a combination of public transit
options, such as riding a bus or
subway, and walking. cityXplorer
maps are not included with your
nüvi. See www.garmin.com to
purchase cityXplorer maps.
To change your usage mode:
1. From the Main menu, touch the
usage mode icon on the upper-
left corner.
2. Select a mode, and touch
OK.
3. Touch
Yes, and follow the
on-screen instructions to
congure your settings.
Navigating Off Road
If you are not following roadways
as you navigate, use Off Road
mode. Touch Tools > Settings >
Navigation > Route Preference >
Off Road > OK.
