6.5.3 Route Planning options
These settings determine how routes will be calculated. Tap the following buttons: , , .
Button Description
Vehicle
You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting,
some of the road types can be excluded from the route, or some of the restrictions may not
be taken into account in route calculation.
Road Types
Used for
Route
Planning
To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to be considered for or
to be excluded from the route if possible.
Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your
destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, they will be used
but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route
Information screen, and the part of the route not matching your preference will be displayed
in a different color on the map.
Route
Calculation
Method
You can choose from different route types. The routing method can be changed temporarily
while creating the route: when the destination is selected, tap
in the Cursor
menu.
Road Types Used for Route Planning:
Type Description
Freeways
You might need to avoid freeways when you are driving a slow car or you are towing
another vehicle.
Unpaved
roads
Clarion Mobile Map excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad
condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on them.
Per-use Toll
By default Clarion Mobile Map includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use charge)
in the routes. If you disable toll roads, Clarion Mobile Map 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.
Permit
needed
You might need a permit or permission from the owners to use certain roads or to enter
certain areas.
Clarion Mobile Map excludes these roads from the route calculation by default.
Ferries
Clarion Mobile Map includes ferries in a planned route by default. However, a map does not
necessarily contain information about the accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also
need to pay a fare on ferries.
