AUTOMATIC TRIP PLANNING

1. Easy Steps to Automatic Trip Planning

  --Select and load a map for VP to use. (Press F2 or alt-m,l)
  --Highlight a city from the list of cities using the up/down arrow
    keys, the page up/down keys, a mouse, or by slowing typing city
    name. To clear speed search, press any "non-letter" key
    (e.g. down arrow key) or press <enter>.
  --Designate the highlighted cities as your starting point (select
    <(F)rom>), your destination (select <(T)o>), or intermediate points
    (select <Via(#)>).
  --After selecting a starting city and a destination, select
    <(C)alc route>. VP will calculate the shortest route and transfer
    you to Manual Trip Planning so you can edit, print, etc. the trip
    plan.  
  --Select 1-5 intermediate points (select <Via(#)>) to have VP route
    you through specific cities even though it may not be along the
    shortest route.
