Taking a Detour or Alternate Route
You can ask the device to calculate an alternate route to take a detour, such as avoiding a traffic delay or a road closure. If a significant traffic delay is reported on your route, the device alerts you, provides the delay time, and tells you when you are still on the fastest route.
At any time, you can say phrases like these to search for and start an alternate route, if one is available.
- Alexa, ask Garmin to start an alternate route.
- Alexa, ask Garmin to take a detour.
- Alexa, ask Garmin to find a faster route.
