Navigation Location Question

Ok, so I'm sitting in my car and need directions on how to get home, so enter the address and once I find my way to the correct freeway, want to cancel the navigation because I can get on home on my own now.

But how the heck can I make it stop giving me directions? The voice drives me nuts and turning off the sound isn't enough for me.

Does anyone know how to cancel a trip mid-way through?

I hit the voice command button on the steering wheel and say "pause guidance."

Seems kind of convoluted just to pause guidance.

I have Home and Work as pre-set destinations, and use those presets on a regular basis, whether to have the XM NAVTraffic tell me if there's any issue on the route, or to get me started in the right direction like the OP. The pause guidance voice command is a great easy way to stop the voice and turn by turn guidance once I no longer need or want it on.

EDIT: I guess as a result of the way I use the NAV I never thought in terms of deleting a destination. Even on destinations that aren't pre-sets I just pause guidance. But then the next time I program a destination I believe the NAV asks if I want to add the new destination to the routing, or replace the old destination, and I have to respond with replace.

You can pretty easily delete the destination. Once I know where I am or how to get theah from heah, I delete it. I believe pausing it keeps it in the system - which could be useful for a future visit - but not very often.

Deleting a destination and pausing guidance only affects the turn by turn directions.

Pause Guidance, either from the voice command or from the Route screen, turns off the turn by turn directions, but leaves the destination programmed into the guidance system. You can resume guidance to that destination at any time.

Delete Destination, again either from the voice command or from the Destination screen (press Del. Dest on the Destination screen) removes the destination (either one or all) from the guidance computer. It doesn't remove it from permanent memory. If the destination came from a predefined destination (i.e. Home or preset destinations 1-5) it is still defined, just not in use. If the destination came from your address book, it is still there. Also, the destination will still show up in the Previous Destinations list.
