Routing Options are used to control exactly how the unit 

generates a route from your current position to a selected 

destination.  

When generating a route, the unit can analyze certain types of roads or 

turns and adjust their value to prefer or avoid them. Preferred road 

types will occur more often in your routes. The unit will deliberately try 

to take those types of roads. 

 

Roads or turns that you choose to Avoid will show up less, although the 

unit may have to generate a longer route to avoid them. The three slide 

controls in the Avoid on Routes screen allow you to control how much 

you want to avoid or prefer the associated options when generating a 

route. The farther you move the slider to the left or right, the more it 

will affect the routes generated by the unit.  
If you change these values significantly and notice the unit has begun 

generating poor routes try using the 

 button to see if 

that helps. You can use the 

 button to automatically 

generate a new route to the same destination using the new prefer-

ences. Take advantage of this option when you are trying to learn the 

right amount of avoidance to make sure the unit gives you what you 

want. 

Use this option to avoid turns across busy lanes of traffic. The unit will 

not avoid cross-traffic turns at major intersections where you will likely 

have a protected turn at a traffic light. Sometimes you would have to 

drive miles out of your way to avoid taking a cross-traffic turn some-

where in your route. Then again, sometimes it's worth it. Practice with 

this setting to find the value that's right for your driving experience.
