Chapter 8: Selecting Destinations
20
8.1 Choosing the Route Method
Every route is calculated based on the Route Method criteria selected. Every time a new destination is selected, the
Magellan RoadMate prompts you for the method that will be used to calculate the route.
Shortest Time: This selection calculates a route that should take the least amount of time
using known speed limits, streets, and other information in the database. Other factors
such as traffic conditions, road closures, and emergency activity are not factors in the
calculation of shortest time.
Avoid Toll Roads: This option calculates the route by excluding known toll roads from the
calculation whenever possible. This option may not reflect the shortest time.
Least Use of Freeways: This selection calculates the route by avoiding freeways whenever
possible.
Most Use of Freeways: This selection calculates the route by using freeways as much as
possible.
