The GPS V can prompt you for a routing preference each time you create a route,
or you can set the preference on the Routing Setup Page and set ‘Ask Me Preference’
to ‘No’.
You can also control how thoroughly the GPS V searches for the perfect route. There
is a trade-off between the length of time is takes to fi nd a route and the quality of
that route (i.e., how close will the GPS V’s route be to the ideal route). The following
options are available:
Quickest Calculation—This provides the fastest results, minimizing the time you
have to wait.
Best Route—This provides the best route, but will take longer to calculate.
Better Route or Quick Calculation—These are compromise settings with emphasis
on either route quality or time, respectively.
The ‘Calculate Routes for’ setting allows the GPS V to take full advantage of the City
Select Maps. Some roads have vehicle-based restrictions associated with them (e.g., no
commercial truck traffi c, no pedestrians or no bicycles). By specifying the vehicle type,
you can avoid being routed somewhere you cannot legally go. Likewise, some settings
(e.g., ‘Emergency’) will give you access to roads or turns that wouldn’t be available
to normal traffi c.

Main Menu: Setup
Use the ‘Avoid’ settings (enabled when
checked) to omit any of the listed features
from your route calculations.
The ‘Calculation Method’ determines how
thoroughly the GPS V searches through the
map data for the perfect route. The better
the routing search the longer it will take to
calculate.
