4.4.4 Route
There are various settings that influence the way routes are calculated.
4.4.4.1 Route Calculation Method
The following route planning types exist in this application:
Option Description
Fast
Gives the quickest possible route if you can travel at or near the speed
limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
Short
Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all possible routes
between the waypoints. Usually practical for pedestrians, cyclists or slow
vehicles.
Economical
Combines the benefits of Fast and Short: ASUS GO calculates as if it
were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads to save petrol.
Easy
Results in a route with fewer turns. With this option, you can make ASUS

or streets.

towing another vehicle.

condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on them.
Toll roads By default ASUS GO includes toll roads (pay roads where you can purchase a
pass or vignette to use the road for a longer period of time) in the routes. If you
