Navigation Overview
Operation
Road Types Used for Route Planning:
Route calculation methods:
Type
Description
[Unpaved Roads]
Navigation excludes unpaved roads by default: Unpaved roads can be
in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on
them.
[Highways]
You might need to avoid highways when you are driving a slow car or
you are towing another vehicle.
[Ferries]
Navigation includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, the
map does not necessarily contain information about the accessibility of
temporary ferries.
You might also need to pay a fare on ferries.
[Cross-border Planning]
In some cases the route calculated according to your other navigation
and route preferences will lead through another country. If you wish to
always stay within the same country, turn this option off.
[Permit Needed]
You might need a permit or permission from the owners to use certain
roads or to enter certain areas. Navigation excludes these roads from
the route calculation by default.
[Pre-use Toll]
By default Navigation includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a
per-use charge) in the routes. If you disable toll roads, Navigation plans
the best toll-free route.
[Period Charge]
Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or
vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be
enabled or disabled separately from toll roads.
[Carpool/HOV]
This control appears only when navigating in the USA. You should
check whether you are allowed to use carpool lanes before enabling
this road type.
Option
Description
Fast
Gives the quickest possible route if you can travel at or near the speed
limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
Easy
Results in a route with fewer turns. With this option, you can make
Navigation take, for example, the freeway instead of series of smaller
roads or streets.
Economical
Look for trade off of speed and shortness with cost. Navigation
calculates as if it were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other
roads as well to save on fuel costs.
Short
Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes
between the route points.
