These settings determine how routes will be calculated. Tap the following buttons: , ,

Button Description

Vehicle You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route. Based

upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from the route, or

some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in route calculation.

Road Types Used for

Route Planning

To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to be

considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible.

Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total

prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the

excluded road types, they will be used but only as much as necessary. In

this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route Information screen, and

the part of the route not matching your preference will be displayed in a

different colour on the map.

Route Calculation

Method

You can choose from different route types. The routing method can be

changed temporarily while creating the route: when the destination is

selected, tap

in the Cursor menu.

Use Traffic Information When TMC messages are received, this setting tells IGO 8 whether to use

that information in route planning.

Recalculate to Avoid

Traffic

This setting determines how IGO 8 uses the received TMC information in

route recalculation:

• Automatic: When route recalculation becomes necessary based on

the received TMC events, IGO 8 recalculates the route automatically.

• Manual: When route recalculation becomes necessary based on the

received TMC events, IGO 8 notifies you, but you can decide

whether to recalculate the route or not.

• Disabled: TMC events are only taken account when the route is

recalculated in an off-route situation.
