4.3.1 Route settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
Button
Description
You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route.
Based upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from
the route, or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in
route calculation.
The route calculation can be optimised for different situations and
vehicle types by changing the planning method. See below for details.
To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to
be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.
Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean
total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some
of the excluded road types, they will be used but only as much as
necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route
Information screen, and the part of the route not matching your
preference will be displayed in a different colour on the map.
You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or
you are towing another vehicle.
Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or
vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be
enabled or disabled separately from toll roads.
The software includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use
charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, your software
plans the best toll-free route.
The software includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a
map does not necessarily contain information about the accessibility of
temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on ferries.
The software excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can
be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on
them.
