Routing Options
Routing Options are used to control exactly how the iWAY generates a
route from your current position to a selected destination. To access
these options, from the Options Menu, choose
ROUTING OPTIONS. A screen
like the one in the following image will appear.
Use the Avoid on Routes menu to control how iWAY generates routes.
When generating a route the iWAY is able to analyze certain types of
roads or turns and adjust their value to either prefer or avoid them.
Preferred road types will occur more often in your routes.
The iWAY will deliberately try to take those types of roads. Road or
turn types that you choose to Avoid will show up less, although the
iWAY may have to generate a longer route to avoid them.
The three slider controls on this page let you control how much you
want to avoid or prefer the associated options when generating a route.
The farther you move the slider to the left or right, the more it will af-
fect the routes generated by iWAY.
If you change these values significantly and notice that your iWAY has
begun generating poor routes try using the
RESET TO DEFAULTS button to
see if that fixes the problem.
You can use the
RECALCULATE ROUTE button to automatically generate a
new route to the same destination using the new preferences. Take ad-
vantage of this option when you are trying to learn the right amount of
avoidance to make sure the iWAY gives you just what you want.
