Local calculates a route that uses local roads whenever possible.
Walking enables pedestrian walking mode.
The ferries setting indicates whether ferries should be included when your route is

time for the route does not take into account the ferry schedule or time spent on the ferry.
The toll roads setting indicates whether you want to include or exclude toll roads when
your route is calculated. If you include toll roads, those roads will be used if appropriate
for the method you selected.
The carpool setting indicates whether or not you want to include carpool or high
occupancy vehicle (HOV) restrictions in the calculation of your route.
The turns setting indicates whether or not you want to reduce the number of turns in your
route.

Speed Alert
You can use the speed alert feature to warn you if your vehicle is exceeding the speed
limit. There are two speed alert options: auto speed alert and fixed speed alert. Auto
speed alert uses the type of road to determine the probable speed limit. Fixed speed alert
lets you enter a speed and will warn you if that speed is exceeded.
