5.3.2 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. B
ased 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.
You can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle profile, or you can even create
new vehicle profiles if you tap More.
On-road navigation creates a turn by turn itinerary using the road network on the
map. Switch to off-road navigation to n
avigate between destinations in a straight
line.
The route calculation can be optimized 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 color 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 freeways 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.
Carpool or HOV lanes can be used if a given number of passengers are traveling
in the vehicle. You should check whether you are allowed to use carpool
lanes
before enabling this road type.
