4.3.1.1 Route Planning Method types
You can select from the following route planning method types:
Button
Description
Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed limit on all
roads. Usually, the best selection for fast and normal cars.
Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. With
this option, you can make iGO Navigation app take, for example, the
motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
Gives a short route to minimise the travel distance. Usually optimal for
pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles. Searching for a short route
regardless of the speed, this route type is rarely optimal for normal
vehicles.
Gives a quick but fuel-efficient route based on the fuel consumption
data. Travel cost and CO
2
emission calculations are estimations only.
They cannot take elevations, curves and traffic conditions into
consideration.
For vehicle types where Green routing is not available, this method
combines the benefits of Fast and Short. iGO Navigation app
calculates as if it were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other
roads as well to save fuel.
Note!
Depending on the vehicle type, some methods may not be available.
4.3.1.2 Road types
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.
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 are used only
as much as necessary. In this case, a warning icon is shown on the Route information screen,
and the part of the route not matching your preference is displayed in a different colour on the
map.
The following road types are available:
