Types of route
Select Change Route Type to change the type of route planned to your current destination. Your
route is recalculated using the new route type.
You can select the following types of route:
 Fastest route - the fastest route to your destination. Your route is constantly checked taking
into account the traffic conditions.
 Shortest route - the shortest route to your destination. This may take much longer than the
fastest route.
 Most eco-friendly route - the most fuel-efficient route.
 Avoid motorways - this type of route avoids all motorways.
 Winding route - the route with the most turns.
Note: Winding routes are only available for TomTom Rider navigation devices.
You can set the default route type in the Settings Menu.
Avoiding features on a route
You can choose to avoid some features that are on your currently planned route. You can avoid the
following route features:
 Toll Roads
 Ferries and car shuttle trains
 Carpool Lanes
 Unpaved Roads
Note: Carpool lanes are sometimes known as High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes (HOV lanes) and are
not present in every country. To travel on these lanes, you may need to have more than one
person in the car, for example, or the car may need to use environmentally-friendly fuel.
