The Route planning & Navigation settings adjusts how the Route computing algorithm should calculate routes for you.
The Route Compute setting allows you to select the following:
- Fastest – route will take the least amount of time
- Shortest – routing will prefer the shortest distance to your destination
- Economic route – route which should result in the lowest fuel consumption, with as little turns as necessary.
You can enable/disable various road types to be used when computing your route:
- Avoid Highways – Avoids Highways, if possible.
- Avoid Toll Roads – Avoids Toll Roads, if possible.
- Avoid Congestion Charge Zones – Avoid various Congestion Charge zones, if possible.
- Avoid Ferries – Avoids Ferries, if possible.
- Avoid Unpaved Roads – Avoids unpaved roads, if possible.
Please note: The avoid function relies heavily on map data. The algorithm may sometimes not avoid them as expected – in that case, you can report these errors using Give Us Feedback.
