searching more than 1 address at a time?

right i use my garmin for delivers, i often get 3-4 deliveries at a time and need to get to each place as fast as i can, sitting at each place putting an address in and hoping its closer than any other address is a bit annoying because sometimes i endup backwards and forwards all over the place when it would have been faster to do them 1 by 1 if you get me,

any way i was having a play around, entered 1 address, then started navigating, then i entered a 2nd address and pressed navigate, is said via point or somthing like that, i clicked yes, is i was to put 4 addresses in and click yes to via point on all of them, will it take me to each closest one?

thanks and sorry if its abit confusing Embarassed

It will if you put the furthest away address in first. If not then it will go to the "vias" first and back to the last address, ie.
London to Edinburgh, via, Birmingham, Manchester and Carlisle will work.
London to Birmingham, via Manchester, Carlisle and Edinburgh would route as follows:
London, Manchester, Carlisle, Edinburgh then Birmingham (never tried so many but I think this is how it works.

The i3 builds up a list called 'recent finds'.

You could go through and find each address separately, then use the recent finds to look them back up again. Then siple navigate to them.

Hope this works!

it would be handy having this feature, as i too do loads of calls.
however, all mine arrive at 0600, so 10 minutes with a brew and ye olde a-z and some writing gives me a good route. then its simple, bang 'em in one at a time and hi ho silver..awayyy. :D

Try this:

Enter all your calls, but instead of navigating to them, store them as favourites. Call these favourites 1,2,3,etc, so they don't interfere with your 'real' favourites. It doesn't matter what order they are, so long as you remember "if it's just a number, it's just a call"

When you entered them all, go back to the main screen choose "Where To -> My Favourites", and all the favouites are listed in distance order, closest first to your current position. Just work through these - be sure to delete them as you go - and this should, in theory, give you at least some kind of intelligent multi-drop routing. It may not be quite what you need, but at least it'll give you some amusement!

Guys

Is it possible (and if so how) to have my favourites displayed in alphabetical order rather than by distance from current location?

Thank you - Nick
