New Route
New-route calculation is faster when the driver has to deviate from the planned route. Instead of recalculating the entire route when the driver deviates from the planned route, the computer re-calculates only a section of the route before issuing the next instruction, this saves time.
Avoiding Toll Road
This is a new selection that has been added to the route-selection menu along with the previous: fastest route, main use of highways, least use of highways, etc..
Selection of Destination from Stored Memory
Multiple destinations are stored in a destinations list. To select the current desired route from memory, the destination must be selected and placed as number 1.
Display of Navigation Data in the Instrument Cluster
Route information, distance and the name of the next street can now be shown in the instrument cluster providing the driver with navigation data without having to look away from the road.
Extended Voice Instructions
The voice instructions have a greater vocabulary thanks to the faster processor and greater system memory of the navigation computer,(e.g."Continue straight ahead following I95", instead of,"follow the main road").
Direct Home Function
Selecting home is easier by storing it permanently in memory and selecting it from a "home" icon in the address book menu or using the Speech Processing System to access it.
Avoiding Sections of a Road or Complete Roads
From the New Route menu individual roads or complete roadways can be barred and the navigation computer will develop a new route avoiding those specific roads. This is especially useful to avoid long term construction sites or roads that are commonly congested with traffic.
