The OneTouch Menu is a customizable menu that provides quick access to your most frequently used destinations and POI searches. Touch the OneTouch icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to access the OneTouch Menu.

The OneTouch Menu is pre-configured with shortcuts already defined for your Home address, S.O.S., Service, and Previous destinations. The remaining 5 shortcuts can be used to store your most frequently used destinations, or POI search criteria.

To demonstrate the OneTouch Menu, I'll assign an available button to my Office address. Tap Manage to program one of the buttons.
