Explanation
To use a GPS device safely, it is **recommended to prepare the route before starting the trip**. This is due to several reasons:
- **Prior planning**: Before starting the trip, it is important to plan the route using a map. This allows you to choose the safest and most comfortable path, considering factors such as roadworks, weather, and traffic volume. This planning helps avoid distractions while driving, as you won't have to constantly look at the GPS.
- **Reduction of distractions**: Using devices like GPS while driving can be a source of distraction. By preparing the route in advance, you reduce the need to interact with the device during the journey, which decreases the risk of accidents.

For these reasons, it is essential not to start the trip before having adequately prepared the route.
