5.7.5.1 Off-route sensitivity and Recalculation delay
Depending on the quality of your GPS device, the GPS antenna location in the car

and the environment you are driving in, route recalculation can behave differently.

iGO may think you have departed the proposed route and perform a recalculation

even if you have not done so.

When the GPS reception is poor (e.g. driving in an urban environment with a low

sensitivity GPS), occasional wandering (called position fluctuation) of the calculated

GPS position is likely. Although iGO employs a sophisticated Lock-on-Road system

that will mostly suppress these position errors by aligning your position to the

recommended route and the road network of the map, sometimes the errors are too

large to correct.

To reduce the effect of large errors, you can increase the recalculation tolerance two

ways.

Off-route sensitivity

This is a range of relative values from 0 to 10, telling iGO how far the GPS position

should be from the recommended route before the program decides to recalculate.

Lower values make iGO insensitive to position errors; higher values will result in

quicker reactions.

Recalculation delay

This is a setting that helps suppress the effects of position fluctuation. With a few

seconds delay in recalculation even large position jumps can be survived without a

need for route recalculation.

5.7.5.2 U-turn penalty
You can fine-tune the way iGO takes U-turns into account when planning a route.

You can tell iGO how much extra distance you would travel to avoid a U-turn.

Note: This value is taken into account only if U-turns are enabled in Route

Parameters (Page

).

5.7.5.3 Cross-border planning
By default iGO plans routes using the border crossing points. However, if you live

near the border, you can disable border crossing with this switch to remain within

one country.

5.7.5.4 Keep position on road (Lock-on-Road)
iGO is normally used for vehicle navigation, therefore Lock-on-Road will display the

position arrow precisely over roads, seamlessly correcting small GPS errors. For

pedestrian use you may consider disabling Lock-on-Road to make iGO always show

your exact position.
