Setting Your End of Day and Fuel Break Preferences
You can schedule end of day and fuel breaks along a route by using the Plan Trip
option in the Route tab. You can schedule end of day breaks according to the miles
(or other distance unit selected in Map Display) or hours driven and you can
schedule fuel breaks according to your current fuel level, your vehicle's fuel
consumption rate, and so on.
Note This feature works with the route preferences you have designated with the
Route Preferences option under Route. For more information, see Setting Your
Routing Preferences in this section.
