Route Preference —allows the unit to calculate a route for:
•
Faster Time
—routes calculated are faster to drive, but can be
longer in distance.
•
Shorter Distance
—routes calculated are shorter in distance
but can take more time to drive.
• Off Road —creates a direct line from your current location
to your destination. This is useful when you are travelling
outside of detailed map coverage areas or where no roads
exist.
Ask My Preference
—determines whether you are asked to select a
route preference before route calculations.
Calculation Method —sets how the unit searches for the route.
• Quickest Calculation —calculates the route the quickest, but
it might not produce the best route.
• Quick Calculation —takes a more time to calculate, but
generates a better quality route.
• Better Route —generates an even better quality route, but
uses a longer calculation time.
• Best Route —generates the most optimal route, but takes the
longest time to calculate.
