Routing Type
CoPilot’s
Quickest
routing type is based on the most efficient route in terms of road quality,
terrain, and urban/rural road classifications. CoPilot’s
Shortest
routing type calculates the
shortest route while maintaining reasonable standards of practicality. A
Scenic
route will
take more rural and scenic roads wherever possible and practical.
Routing Options
When
Avoid Tolls
is checked, CoPilot’s route calculations will avoid toll roads where it is
possible to do so while maintaining a reasonably practical and efficient route. When
International Borders Open
is checked, routes may cross international borders to provide
better routing. If this option is not checked, no borders will be crossed. Check
Break Every
to include a break time in your driving directions and ETA calculations, then type in your
own numbers or pick them from the pick lists.
Check
Avoid Propane-Restricted Tunnels
if your vehicle is carrying propane and you want
CoPilot to route around restricted tunnels.
Advanced Options
Click the
Advanced
button in the Trip Options window to adjust road speeds and
preferences. Use the sliding bars to favor or avoid each CoPilot road type. Average road
speeds can be typed in for each road type or selected
from the pick lists. Road speeds significantly affect
how CoPilot calculates routes, so it is advisable to
adjust these and run routes in an area you know well
to see how the routing changes.
