Setting Your End of Day and Fuel Break Preferences
Street Atlas USA 2005 allows you to schedule end of day and fuel breaks along a route by using the Plan Trip
option in the Route tab. You can schedule end of day breaks according to the miles (or other distance unit selected in
Map Display) or hours driven and you can schedule fuel breaks according to your current fuel level, your vehicle's
fuel consumption rate, and so forth.
This feature of Street Atlas USA 2005 works with the route preferences you have designated with the
Route Preferences option under Route. For more information, see
Setting Your Routing Preferences
on page 109.
