Road Types Used for Route Planning:
Type Description
Motorways You might need to avoid motorways when you are driving a slow car or you
are towing another vehicle.
Unpaved roads IGO 8 excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad
condition and usually you cannot reach the speed limit on them.
Per-use Toll By default IGO 8 includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a per-use
charge) in the routes. If you disable toll roads, IGO 8 plans the best toll-free
route.
Period Charge
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.
Permit needed
You might need a permit or permission from the owners to use certain roads
or to enter certain areas.
IGO 8 excludes these roads from the route calculation by default.
Ferries
IGO 8 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.
Cross-border planning
In some cases the route calculated according to your other navigation and
route preferences would lead through another country. If you wish to always
stay within the same country, turn this option off.
Route Calculation Method types:
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 route points. Usually practical for pedestrians, cyclists or slow
vehicles.
Economical
Combines the benefits of Fast and Short: IGO 8 calculates as if it were
calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to save fuel.
Easy
Results in a route with fewer turns. With this option, you can make IGO 8 to
take, for example, the motorway instead of series of smaller roads or streets.
