Route criteria Fa s t
: It calculates the fastest route to your de
stination, even if a detour is necessary.
Short
: Longer driving time in favour of a sh
orter route is acceptable. Please note
that the setting “Short route” during ro
ute guidance can sometimes lead to unex-
pected results. Economical
: The aim of the calculation is a ba
lance between mini
mal driving time
and driving distance. Dynamic route guidance with TMC use If the dynamic navigation is
switched off, traffic reports are nevertheless received in
the background and updated. The navigation displays traffic problems on the map and draws attention to them verbally, ho
wever does not consider them for calcu-
lating the route (the route can le
ad through the traffic problems).
