4.2.3 Route settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
Button
Description
The route calculation can be optimized for different situations and vehicle
types by changing the planning method. See below for details.
To let the route
fi
t 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 My Route screen,
and the part of the route not matching your preference will be displayed in a different color on
the map.
In the list of road types you can see in how many segments and what total length of the road
type is used on the current route.

Description
You might need to avoid highways/freeways when you are driving a slow
car or you are towing another vehicle.
Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or vignette to
use the road for a longer period of time. They can be enabled or disabled
separately from toll roads.
The navigation system includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a
per-use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, the
navigation system plans the best toll-free route.
The navigation system includes ferries in a planned route by default.
However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the
accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare on
ferries.
Setting in which routes with carpool lanes can be created or not created.
The navigation system excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads
can be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on
them.
