Route
Here you can choose from three different route types.
• Short: Choosing Short will result in a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible
routes between the given points. This is usually preferred by pedestrians, cyclists or slow
vehicles.
• Fast: Choosing Fast will result in the quickest possible route, given that you can travel at or near
the speed limits on all included roads. This is usually preferred for fast and normal cars.
• Economical: This setting is a wise combination of the previous two. Although basically going for
the fastest solution, if there is another route taking a bit more time but a lot less distance
compared to the fastest one, Binatone Carrera will choose this one instead to save fuel.
Vehicle
You can set the type of the vehicle that you will use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting,
some of the road types will be excluded from the route (e.g. motorways for pedestrians), or some of
the restrictions may not be taken into account (e.g. emergency vehicles have no restrictions).
Furthermore, when Bus or Lorry is chosen, the program assumes that high speeds cannot be
achieved, and this information is taken into account when calculating the route, the estimated time
enroute (ETE), and the estimated time of arrival (ETA).
Available values:
‧ Car
‧ Taxi
‧ Bus
‧ Lorry
‧ Emergency
‧ Pedestrian
‧ Bicycle
Road types to include/exclude
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.
Note: 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, binatone carrera will use
screen, and the road not matching your preference will be displayed in alternate colour on the map.
Unpaved Roads: Unpaved roads are excluded by default, as they can be in a bad condition and
you usually cannot reach the speed limit on them.
Motorways: When driving a slow car or towing another vehicle, you may prefer not to take
motorways.
Ferries: The accessibility of temporary ferries is not necessarily included in the map data.
Furthermore you may need to pay fare, so you may consider disabling them from the preset
enabled status.
them but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route Information
