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.
The route calculation can be optimised for different situations and
vehicle types by changing the planning method. See below for
details.
Vehicle types:
• :
• Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account when
planning a route.
• Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed.
• Private roads and resident-only roads are used only they are inevitable to reach
the destination.
• Walkways are excluded from routes.
•
:
• Neither manoeuvre restrictions nor directional constraints are taken into
account when planning a route.
• Roads are used only if access for pedestrians is allowed.
• Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes.
• A private road is used only if the destination is there.
• Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average walking speed is
used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.
•
:
• Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints (if they are applied to
bicycles in the map data) are taken into account when planning a route.
• Roads are used only if access for bicycles or pedestrians is allowed.
• Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes.
• A private road is used only if the destination is there.
• Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average cycling speed is
used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.

• All manoeuvres are available in intersections.
• Directional constraints are taken into account the way that opposite direction is
allowed with a low speed.
• A private road is used only if the destination is there.

Route Planning Method types:
noitpircseD nottuB
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.
Gives a short route to minimise the distance to travel. Usually
practical for pedestrians, cyclists or slow vehicles. Searching for a
short route regardless of the speed, this route type is rarely practical
for normal vehicles.
Combines the benefits of Fast and Short: The software calculates as
if it were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well to
save fuel.
Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult manoeuvres. With
this option, you can make your software to take, for example, the
motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
Under "Setting">"Vehicle">Choose "Lorry" and beside it has a Tool icon and enter Lorry info
like "Length"/"Width" and "Height", the GPS itself can calculate appropriate Route for you.
* Important Note to Lorry Driver:

2.5 Sound and Warnings
Adjust the sound volume, mute your device or change the voice guidance language. In
addition, you can enable and set up different warnings and alerts.
noitpircseD nottuB
Tap this button to adjust the volume of the different sounds in the
application. A new screen shows the different sound types and their
controls. See below for details.
The loudness of your software is independent of your device settings.
When you exit the program, the device default settings return.
This button shows the current voice guidance profile. By tapping the
button, you can select a new profile from the list of available languages
and speakers. Tap any of these to hear a sample voice prompt. Just
tap
when you have selected the new spoken
language.
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road
segments. The software is able to warn you if you exceed the current
limit. This information may not be available for your region (ask your
local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads in the map. This
setting lets you decide whether you wish to receive visible and/or
audible warnings.
Adjust the slider to set the relative speed above which the application
initiates the warning.
The following alert types are available:
• Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed
the speed limit with the given percentage.
• Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map
when you exceed it.
If you prefer to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time
(normally it is shown only if
your speed exceeds it), you can set it here.
This feature allows you to receive a warning when approaching a Road
Safety Camera. You must ensure on your own liability that using this
feature is legal in the country where you intend to use it.
This button is not displayed when GPS position is not available or if
you are in certain countries where road safety camera warning is
prohibited. Even if the button is available, you are responsible for
checking whether it is legal to use this feature at your location.
Maps may contain driver alert information. Tap this button to turn on or
off these warnings and to set the distance from the hazard to receive
the warning at. These can be set individually for the different warning
types.
