ROUTE PARAMETER SETTINGS
This is a very important page. Se ttings here
determine how routes will be calculated.
This screen is directly accessible from the
Route Information screen.
Method
Use the handle to set the speed of the
route calculation. In the leftmost position
the route may not be optimal but the cal-
culation will be very fast. Sliding it to the
right will result in more accurate routing in
an increased amount of time.
NOTE: Since Cydle calculates routes very
quickly, the position of this slide is only
used for long routes. Short routes ar e al-
ways calculated to give you the optimal re-
sult independent of the slider.
Route
Here you can choose from three differ ent
route types.
Short
Choosing Short will result in a route th at
has the smallest total distance of all pos -
sible routes between the given points. Th is
is usually preferred by pedestrians, cyclists
or slow vehicles.
Fast
Choosing Fast will result in the quickest
possible route, given that you can travel
at or near the speed limits on all include d
roads. This is usually preferred for fa st and
normal cars.
Economical
This setting is a wise combination of the
previous two. Although basically go ing for
the fastest solution, if there is another ro ute
taking a bit more time but a lot less dis-
tance compared to the fastest one, Cydle
will choose this one instead to save fuel.
Vehicle
You can set the type of the vehicle that you
will use to navigate the route. Based upon
this setting, some of the road types will be
excluded from the route (e.g. motorways
for pedestrians), or some of the restrictio ns
may not be taken into account (e.g. emer-
gency vehicles have no restrictions).
Furthermore, when Bus or Lorry (tr uck) is
chosen, the program assumes that hi gh
speeds cannot be achieved, and this infor-
mation is taken into account when calculati ng
the route, the estimated time enroute (ETE ),
and the estimated time of arrival (ETA).
Avail
able values:
• Car
• Taxi
• Bus
• Lorry(truck)
• Emergency
• Bicycle
• Pedestrian
Road Types to Include/Exclude
To let the route fi t your needs you can also set
which road types are to be considered fo r or
to be excluded from the route if possible.
When a road type is selected, its lamp i s
green, if not, it turns red and is crossed-
out.
NOTE: Excluding a route is a preference. It
does not necessarily mean total pro hibition.
If your destination can only be accessed
using some of the excluded road types,
Cydle will use them but only as much as
necessary. In this case a warning icon will
be shown on the Route Information screen,
and the road not matching your preferenc e
will be displayed in alternate color on the
map.
