Calculate Routes for Lets you take full advantage of the routing information built into the City
Navigator maps. Some roads have vehicle-based restrictions. For example, a street or gate may be
accessible by emergency vehicles only, or a residential street may not allow commercial trucking traffi c.
By specifying which vehicle type you are driving, you can avoid being routed through an area that is
prohibited for your type of vehicle. Likewise, the StreetPilot III may give you access to roads or turns
that wouldn’t be available to normal traffi c. The following options are available:
• Car/Motorcycle
• Truck (large semi-tractor/trailer)
• Bus
• Emergency (ambulance, fi re department, police, etc.)
• Taxi
• Delivery (delivery vehicles)
• Bicycle (avoids routing through interstates and major highways)
• Pedestrian
