Trip Planner window to access
CoPilot routing options.
Auto and Quickest are the
default settings, providing the
quickest routing for automobiles
based on practical considerations
such as road quality, terrain, and
urban/rural classifi cations. RV
routing favors major roads and
avoids sharp turns, U-turns, and
urbanized areas where possible.
In the U.S. only, RV routing avoids
12' 6" height restrictions on
highways. Scenic routing avoids
major roads and favors more
rural and scenic roads wherever
possible and practical.
Check Avoid Propane
Restricted Tunnels if desired.
Click Advanced to set general
road preferences.

type of road by either typing or

under Rural and Urban for
each road type.
