Choosing the Routing Method
Every route calculation is based on the selected Routing Method criteria. Every time a new destination is
selected, the Magellan RoadMate prompts you for the method that will be used to calculate the route.
Shortest Time: This selection calculates a route that should take the
least amount of time taking into account speed limits and other
information in the database. Other factors, such as traffic
conditions, cannot be used in the calculation of shortest time.
Shortest Distance: This option calculates the route using the most
direct route to the destination. This route may not be the fastest due
to lower speed limits, numerous traffic lights or other factors.
Least Use of Motorways: This selection calculates the route
avoiding motorways whenever possible.
Most Use of Motorways: This selection calculates the route using
motorways whenever possible.
