Routing
In the Routing tab, the vehicle type options
are Automobile or RV. RV routes favor
major roads and avoid sharp turns and U-turns
wherever possible.
The Quickest routing type is based on the
most practical route in terms of road qual-
ity, terrain, and urban/rural classifications.
Shortest routing travels the least distance
where possible while maintaining some level of
practicality.
screens. This line can display the current road, nearest crossroad, nearest major
road, nearest town, ETA, or speed. NOTE: Defaults are set here, but you can
also toggle through the options by tapping the line itself.
Advanced Routing Options:
Tap Advanced. Use the advanced routing options to completely change how
CoPilot calculates routes.
Avoid/Favor: There are five levels of Avoid/Favor for each road type. Note that
a road type that is heavily avoided will not be completely excluded — CoPIlot will
still use that road type if there is no other efficient alternative.
Speed: Change the average speed for the different road types.
NOTE: Even small changes to the avoid/favor balance and especially to road
speeds will have a significant effect on how CoPilot calculates routes.
