Defining a category
The categories and
special destinations available depend on the vehicle's current location.
-
Special destination
in the vicinity of the current position: categories sorted alphabetically and
special destinations sorted by distance within a 20 km radius of the vehicle
position are available.
-
Special destination
within a given town: if you have only entered the country and the town,
alphabetically sorted categories and special destinations within the town are
available.
If
you have entered more than the country and the town, categories sorted
alphabetically and special destinations sorted by distance within a 20 km
radius of the address entered are available.
-
Special destination
in a different region: alphabetically sorted categories and special
destinations are available.

more than the country and the town.
