Navigate to a destination
You can use the Compass application to help you navigate by direction rather than by a driving route, for example, if you are in an area with no roads or if you are walking to your destination.
Before you begin:
In order to perform this task, GPS technology must be turned on.
- On the Home screen or in the Applications folder, click the Compass icon.
- Press the
key > Set Destination. - To find your destination on the map, place the cursor on the map.
- To search for a specific location, in the Search field, type the address or the latitude and longitude co-ordinates. Click the destination.
- To search for a point of interest, such as a business or landmark, in the Search field, type the information for the point of interest. Click the destination.
To clear the destination from the compass, press the
key > Clear Destination.
