from the route (‘Prompted’, ‘Automatic’, ‘Off’).

‘Routing’ Tab
The Routing Tab allows you to customize the routing features of the StreetPilot III.
Route Preference Determines which 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.
The ‘Off Road’ option is useful if you stop somewhere on
your trip where there are no roads (scenic area, etc.) and
you still want to navigate (via a straight line) using the
StreetPilot III.
Remember that a route with ‘Shorter Distance’ selected
will be shorter in distance but may take more time to
drive!
