Routing File Tab
The Routing Tab allows you to customize the routing features of the StreetPilot III.
Route Preference—Determines what criteria are used for fi nding the route to your destination. The
following options are available:
• Faster Time: This setting causes time to be used as the criteria for calculating your route. The routes
calculated with this setting will be faster to drive but may be longer in distance.
• Shorter Distance: This setting causes distance to be used as the criteria for calculating your route. The
routes calculated with this setting will be shorter in distance but may take more time to drive.
• Off Road: This setting causes your route to be a direct line from you to your destination. This may be
useful outside of detailed map coverage areas.
Calculation Method—Allows you to control how thoroughly the StreetPilot III searches for the perfect
route. There is a trade-off here between the length of time it takes to fi nd a route and the quality
of that route (or how close to the ideal route as determined by your Route Preference setting). The
following options are available:
•Quickest Calculation: This will give you the fastest results, minimizing the time you have to wait.
•Best Route: This will cause route calculations to take somewhat longer, but you will get the best
route.
The ‘Ask Me My Preference’ setting can also be changed
from the Routing File Tab.
Using the ‘Calculate Routes For’ option allows you to
take full advantage of the routing information contained
in the City Navigator Maps for planning the most effi -
cient route for your type of vehicle.
