Route criteria
– Select: Function selector button > control button
Route > Route criteria.
The route will be calculated according to various criteria.
Dynamic navigation
The dynamic navigation function optimises a route plan by using
the most current traffic reports to automatically recalculate routes
and avoid traffic jams.
If the navigation does not display a detour route, although the
dynamic navigation function is ON and a traffic jam has been
reported on the planned route, this is because the estimated time
required for the detour is longer than the estimated time required
for remaining on the route with the traffic jam.
Route options
The navigation system selects the faster or shorter route.
Motorway / ferry / toll road
If you do not want the navigation system to include motorways,
ferries or toll roads in the route calculation, you can set the option
avoid. However, there can be situations in which you will not be able
to avoid them.
Note
If one of the selected criteria is unavoidable (i.e. the route must
contain the undesired criterion), the system will automatically
calculate the route accordingly.
