button, then touch Route Preferences. You can
choose your Route among the shortest route, the
fastest, with fewer turns or off road.
• The shortest route: it is calculated preferring the
shortest distance, but it does not consider the type
of road. For this reason there could be stretches
with very low speed limits, or narrow stretches. The
resulting route is the shortest way form A to B, but it
may be not the best for your vehicle.
• The Fastest route: it is calculated on the base
of the type of streets covered, preferring streets
with high speed limits (such as highways). This way,
the total distance could be longer but the time to
destination will be shorter.
• With fewer turns: with this option, the software
calculates the route with fewer manoeuvres, as
straight as possible, for a comfortable driving. The
resulting route will probably be longer both in terms
of time and distance than the previous ones.
Attention: these parameters are applied on the
cartographic data, so their efficacy depends on the quality
of the maps. For this reason it is highly recommended to
keep the maps updated (read Chap 5).
You can also customize the route calculation
choosing to avoid some types of streets or areas.
From the Route Functions menu touch the Route
Options button, then touch the Avoid button. You
can to avoid:
• Toll roads
• Highways
• U turns
• Pedestrian roads
