5.4 Route parameter settings

This is a very important page. Settings here determine how routes will be calculated.

This screen is directly accessible from the Route Information screen (Page 38).

5.4.1 Method

Use the handle to set the speed of the route calculation. In the leftmost position the

route may not be optimal but the calculation will be very fast. Sliding it to the right will

result in more accurate routing in an increased amount of time.

Note: Since Uniden Navigation calculates routes very quickly, the position of this

slide is only used for long routes. Short routes are always calculated to give you the

optimal result independent of the slider.

5.4.2 Route

Here you can choose from three different route types.

5.4.2.1 Shortest

Choosing Shortest will result in a route that has the smallest total distance of all

possible routes between the given points. This is usually preferred by pedestrians,

cyclists or slow vehicles.

5.4.2.2 Fastest

Choosing Fastest will result in the quickest possible route, given that you can travel

at or near the speed limits on all included roads. This is usually preferred for fast and

normal cars.

5.4.2.3 Economical

This setting is a wise combination of the previous two. Although basically going for

the fastest solution, if there is another route taking a bit more time but a lot less

distance compared to the fastest one, Uniden Navigation will choose this one instead

to save fuel.

5.4.3 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
