Select one of the following:

1: guidance will begin along the route calculated by the system.

Avoiding an area2

This feature allows you to avoid an entire area on the map when a route is calculated. It can be used to avoid being guided through a particular area, with the exception of highways, which are used when a route is calculated even through "avoided" areas.

Select and area along the route that will be avoided (if this area is already on the list of previously selected areas, continue with the next step):

The selected area will be added to the list of areas to be avoided.

The area will be avoided when a route is calculated.
