• Navigation Mode
:
On-road navigation creates a turn by turn
itinerary using the road network on the
map. Switch to off-road navigation to
navigate between destinations in a straight
line.
• Route Planning Method
:
The route calculation can be optimised for
different situations and vehicle types by
changing the planning method.
–
Fast
:
Calculates a route with the shortest
travel time to your destination as a
priority. Usually the best selection for fast
and normal cars.
–
Green
:
Calculates a quick but fuel efficient route
based on the fuel consumption data
given in Route settings. Travel cost and
CO2 emission calculations are
estimations only. They cannot take
elevations, curves and traffic conditions
into account.
–
Short
:
Calculates a route with the shortest
distance to your destination as a priority.
Usually practical for pedestrians, cyclists
or slow vehicles. Searching for a short
route regardless of the speed, this route
type is rarely practical for normal
vehicles.
–
Easy
:
Results in a route with fewer turns and no
difficult manoeuvres. With this option,
you can make this system to take, for
example, the motorway instead of a
series of smaller roads or streets.
