Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you 
want to drive to your destination. Select 
CHANGE METHOD by moving the 
Interface Dial down.
• “Direct Route” (the factory default) is
the route that is the quickest (least 
time) and is usually the best choice. If 
you choose any other method, it 
becomes the new default for all future 
routing. Make sure to check the 
routing method if the displayed route 
is not what you expected to see.
• “Easy Route” produces a route with
the least turns.
• “Maximize Freeways”, “Minimize
Freeways”, and “Minimize Toll 
Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then 
“Minimize Freeways” and “Minimize 
Toll Roads” may be grayed out. This is 
normal.
The generated route may not be the 
route you would choose. For safety 
reasons, the system generally applies the 
following rules to your route:
• It tries to avoid “short cuts” through
residential areas.
• Right turns are favored over left turns
or U-turns.
• Restricted turns (turns that cannot be
made during certain hours), are not 
used for routing during any time of 
the day.

scroll through and view the various 
routes (Direct, Easy, Maximize 
Freeways, etc.) to your destination. If

You can change the method for 
calculating the route by using the
