How Routing Preferences Work on an Automotive Device
Most automotive devices allow you to select a route preference or calculation mode to determine how the device calculates the route.
Your Device may Provide Some of the Following Route Preferences:
- Faster Time: Uses map information to create a faster route.
- This includes posted speed limits, road types, and driving distance.
- Faster Time may have a longer distance, but offers a faster arrival time than the Shorter Distance option.
- Off Road or Straight Line: Draws a geographical straight line route between two points, or "as the crow flies". This is also known as a bearing. This route will not follow any roads.
- Shorter Distance: Creates a route from the shortest driving distance between two points.
- This feature is not available on all devices.
- This feature is not available on all devices.
- Less Fuel: Uses distance and posted speed limits to calculate a route using less fuel.
- This feature is only available on devices with ecoRoute that also have an entered vehicle profile.
- See your device's owners' manual for information on ecoRoute compatibility and the Less Fuel route preference.
- Turn-by-Turn: Route taking streets and/or trails.
- This feature is only available on the Camper 795 caravan and motorhome sat nav, CamperCam 795 motorhome sat nav with built-in dash cam, RV 795 RV navigator, RVcam 795 RV navigator with built-in dash cam, Tread® Series devices, and zūmo® XT2 GPS navigator (trail maps are included with the Tread® Series).
