o Route calculation has been optimised for Bicycle (possible in a radius of up to 50 km
from the current position): Cycling paths have also been taken into account when
calculating the route, pedestrian zones are directly accessible. The shortest route is always
calculated and the traffic jam detour function is generally not active. The use of motorways
and toll roads is excluded; the corresponding route options are automatically deactivated
(see later section).
o Route calculation has been optimised for Pedestrians (possible in a radius of up to 50
km from the current position): Footpaths and cycling paths have also been taken into
account when calculating the route; one-way streets can be used in both directions of travel
and pedestrian zones are directly accessible. The shortest route is always calculated and
the traffic jam detour function is generally not active. The use of motorways and toll roads is
excluded; the corresponding route options are automatically deactivated (see later section).
o Route calculation has been optimised for Motorcycle. Road traffic regulations are in
effect for this setting: This means that all roads may generally be used; however one-way
streets may only be driven on in the proper direction of travel. As a rule, pedestrian zones
are not directly accessible and a corresponding message is emitted. Motorways are
avoided when calculating the route.
• Route calculation optimised with respect to travel time (default): The fastest possible route is
calculated.
As an alternative to the default setting you can choose one of the following options:
o Route calculation optimised with respect to distance: The shortest possible route is
calculated.
o The route calculation represents a combination of the quickest and shortest route: This
is the economic route.
• The traffic jam avoidance function is not active (default): Current traffic information (TMC)
not taken into account during navigation.
As an alternative to the default setting you can choose one of the following options:
o When the manual traffic jam avoidance function is active, a warning symbol on the
map view indicates the next traffic disruption on your route that will affect your travel time.
o When the automatic traffic jam avoidance function is active, the navigation software
automatically uses available traffic information to calculate detours around traffic disruptions
in your way that would affect your travel time.
• The use of ferries is taken into account for the purposes of route calculation (default).
As an alternative to the default setting you can select the following option:
o The use of ferries is avoided for the purposes of route calculation.
• In addition to rural roads, roads and A-roads, motorways are also accounted for route
calculations (default):
As an alternative to the default setting you can select the following option:
