Route Preference—allows the unit to calculate a route for:

•Faster Time—routes calculated are faster to drive, but can be longer in distance.

•Shorter Distance—routes calculated are shorter in distance but can take more time to drive.

•Off Road—creates a direct line from your current location to your destination. This is useful when you are travelling outside of detailed map coverage areas or where no roads exist.

Ask My Preference—determines whether you are asked to select a route preference before route calculations.

Calculation Method—sets how the unit searches for the route.

•Quickest Calculation—calculates the route the quickest, but it might not produce the best route.

•Quick Calculation—takes a more time to calculate, but generates a better quality route.

•Better Route—generates an even better quality route, but uses a longer calculation time.

•Best Route—generates the most optimal route, but takes the longest time to calculate.
