The Route
Once you have generated a route you can look it over or just start following it. You can also
revisit the Tools > Navigation > Find Route command to:
• save the route for future use. to
• reverse the route to get back home.
• Recall a route you saved earlier.
Recall and reverse route do not try to use the whole route you set up earlier. Instead they simply
use the start and finish points plus any ‘route through’ points (described below) to generate a new
route.
GUIDING THE ROUTER
If you don’t like the route that the program chose you can request a modification. When a route
is active you can click on a place on the map and tell the router you want to route through that
location. Press and hold on the description to reach this choice.
This is a powerful tool that will guide the router to go in the way you wish. These intermediate
points are saved when you save the route so they are completely reusable. You only have to tell it
once.
Multiple route through locations can be added to the route. Multiple locations would allow a
complete route to be set up with multiple stops.
When a route through location is determined a small circle is added to the road at that point. This
circle can be tapped to remove the route through point if desired.
ROUTING OPTIONS
Another way to guide the router is through the Tools > Settings > Routing options. You have
control over the router in that you can tell it how quick to produce results. Thus, you can trade
off calculation speed that may not find the optimum route for a more exhaustive approach.
Routing with fastest selected causes the Router to use the speed of the road in determining the
best route. When routing using the shortest route the router assigns all roads to the same speed.
You can tell the router to avoid toll roads to save money when other routes are just as good. The
other choices are shown in the table on the next page:
