Routing Options
Click the Options button in the
Trip Planner window to access
CoPilot routing options.
In the Trip Options window you
can change various routing
preferences. The Routing Type
and Routing Options here are
the same as the options on your
mobile device (see p. 51-53).
The Optimize option affects
how stops are ordered when you
choose to optimize your list of
stops for the most efficient stop
order. Keep destination will

in an optimized route.
