HP 314 manual Regional settings, Keep position on road

Ferries

The accessibility of temporary ferries is not necessarily included in the map data. Additionally, since you might need to pay a fare, you could consider disabling them.

Cross-border planning

By default your Travel Companion plans routes using the border crossing points. However, if you live near the border, you can disable border crossing with this switch to remain within one country.

U-turns

Although displayed along with road types, this is a type of action. Most drivers prefer to replace them with a few normal left and/or right turns at the next junctions. This option is selected by default, as Avoid.

Turning back on dual carriageways is not considered as a U-turn.

NOTE: U-turns handle Via points as stopovers with regards to U-turns. It means disabling U-turns on this screen avoids U-turns during the entire route if possible, but when reaching a Via point, the subsequent part of the route might be planned starting in the opposite direction.

Permit needed

To access certain roads or areas, you might need a special permit or permission from the owners. These roads are excluded from your routes by default. Clear the check box if your vehicle is authorized to enter these roads.

Toll roads

You can select this option to disable Toll roads and configure your Travel Companion to plan the best toll-free route, you may have to travel more to avoid paying a toll.

Carpool lanes (for the USA map only)

You can configure your Travel Companion to use carpool lanes when planning routes. These lanes are currently available in the USA only.

This option is displayed only if the USA map is available in the Travel Companion.

Keep position on road

Your Travel Companion is intended for use primarily for vehicle navigation. Therefore Lock-on-Roaddisplays the position arrow precisely over roads, and corrects small GPS errors.

NOTE: By turning off Lock-on-Roadyou also turn off the GPS position error filtering. The position displayed on the map is subject to possible position errors and position fluctuations.

Regional settings

On the Regional settings screen, you can set the languages, measurement units, and date and time formats used by your Travel Companion.
