About Driving Guidance
The Driving Guidance feature of MapPoint works with the Route Planner and the GPS features to provide spoken and text instructions, visual turn indicators, and the distance to the next turn as you travel along a route.
Caution Using MapPoint while driving can be distracting, dangerous, or prohibited (depending on location or manner of use). The driver remains responsible for safe travel, for obeying all traffic laws, and should exercise good judgment at all times.
