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
screen, and the part of the route not matching your preference will be displayed in a different
colour on the map.
In the list of road types you can see in how many segments and what total length of the road
type is used in the current route.

Description
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.
