I think you need to press down on the button(joy stick) and then select "delete destination".

yeah, all you have to do is in the main map area (where it shows yoru cars and the streets) click the joystick down, you'll have all kinds of options. One of them is marked something like "disable navigation" or something like that. I think it's the last option. GL.

What they mentioned will delete the current destination and stop the annoying "recalculating" crap. If you want to delete the marked point in its entirety you have to go through the menu. I'm not sure the exact options to take, but it's marked "Edit Marked Points" or something similar.

Is this a joke? You've owned your car for this long and still don't know how to work everything with the navigation system?

How do you get the update disc? Does it get rid of the voice but keep the Ping, warning thing on?

Simply press POS and that will get rid of the marked point.
