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 42.
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 38.
You can also use Alpine Navigation System for off-road navigation. See page 51.
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

3.1.1 Using Freeform Search

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.
