Sarai,
You can turn automatic route recalculation off by performing the
following
steps:
1. Press O to enter the GPS Options Menu.
2. Move down in the menu until you hear "off-route recalculation" and
press
ENTER.
3. Press M for manual.
4. Press ESCAPE to exit the GPS Options Menu.
Now, press BACKSPACE + Dot 3 on the BT keyboard or SLASH or BACKSLASH on
the
QT keyboard when you want to recalculate a route. Hope this helps.
