•Fastest:The fastest route uses
the fastest moving roads possible.
•Shortest:The shortest route
considers minimum distance as a
priority.
•Unrestricted:The unrestricted
route does not consider your
avoid preferences (if any are set).
These can be checked by
pressing the ‘Route Prefs’ button.
Avoid areas which have been set are also considered in route calculation
and can be checked by pressing the NAV hard button and then choosing
the ‘Avoid Areas’ tab at the bottom of the screen. If there are not any avoid
preferences set, an unrestricted route will not be presented as an option.
The gray box contains various icons
above the route selection buttons
indicates what characteristics are
present on each route. The icons
represent:
1. Freeways
2. Toll roads
3. Ferries
4. HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle)
lanes
5. Time restricted roads
6. Avoid area
If, for example, you selected the fastest route and the freeway icon is
illuminated, that means that highways are used on the route. This may
happen even if you have selected ‘Avoid freeways’ set as a route
preference. The system will do its best to consider your avoid
preferences, but if there is no other way to get to a destination, it will
not use the restrictions.
Once you have selected a route, you can either select ‘Start Route’ to
begin route guidance or ‘Cancel Route’ to exit or start over.
You can delete all stored avoid areas at once by pressing the MENU hard
button, selecting the ‘Systems settings’ tab, and then pressing the ‘View’
button for ‘Delete stored items’. Then, select ‘Avoid areas’.
