Following Your Route
Follow the route to your destination using the Map page. As you travel, your c310 guides you to your
destination with vocal prompts, turn arrows on the map, and directions at the top of the Map page. If you
depart from the original route, your c310 voice announces that you are off-route and then provides new
route instructions.
Read the driving
instructions at
the top of the
page.
Your route is marked
with a red line.
Follow the arrows
as you take turns.
A checkered
flag marks your
destination.
