5.4 Route parameter settings
This is a very important page. Settings here determine how routes will be calculated.
This screen is directly accessible from the Route Information screen (Page 38).
5.4.1 Method
Use the handle to set the speed of the route calculation. In the leftmost position the
route may not be optimal but the calculation will be very fast. Sliding it to the right will
result in more accurate routing in an increased amount of time.
Note: Since Uniden Navigation calculates routes very quickly, the position of this
slide is only used for long routes. Short routes are always calculated to give you the
optimal result independent of the slider.
5.4.2 Route
Here you can choose from three different route types.
5.4.2.1 Shortest
Choosing Shortest will result in a route that has the smallest total distance of all
possible routes between the given points. This is usually preferred by pedestrians,
cyclists or slow vehicles.
5.4.2.2 Fastest
Choosing Fastest will result in the quickest possible route, given that you can travel
at or near the speed limits on all included roads. This is usually preferred for fast and
normal cars.
5.4.2.3 Economical
This setting is a wise combination of the previous two. Although basically going for
the fastest solution, if there is another route taking a bit more time but a lot less
distance compared to the fastest one, Uniden Navigation will choose this one instead
to save fuel.
5.4.3 Vehicle
You can set the type of the vehicle that you will use to navigate the route.
Based upon this setting, some of the road types will be excluded from the route
