5.1.3 Green routing
Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the vehicle types,
you can also check the fuel consumption and CO
2
emission when planning a route, and you can create
cost effective routes with less effect on the environment.
In Route settings, you can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle. Enter the fuel consumption values
and the price of the fuel. You can also select whether you want to see the difference between your route
and the green route even if the selected routing method is not Green.
After the above parameters are set, select
as route planning method to get a fast but
also fuel efficient route. Note that travel cost and CO
2
emission calculations are estimations only. They
cannot take elevations, turns, curves and traffic conditions into account. Also, this routing is not meant to
give you the "greenest" route of all. It is still important to travel quickly so the result is a fast route with low
fuel consumption and CO
2
emission.
With a vehicle type where green routing is selectable, whichever route planning method is selected, the
Green details are also shown when you confirm the route:
If the selected route planning method is not Green, and you have allowed the application to show the
green alternative, the price, fuel consumption and CO
2
emission differences between your selected route
and the Green route are also shown on this screen:
Tap the field with these details to switch the route to Green immediately.
