Calculate Routes for—sets route calculation for the particular 

vehicle you are operating to optimize the route for your vehicle type,  

some roads have vehicle-based restrictions. 
Avoid—allows you to avoid certain road types and maneuvers on 

your route. The unit uses these road types only if alternative routes 

take you too far out of your way or if no other road is available.
Custom Avoids—allows you to enter specific areas and roads that 

you would like to avoid in your navigation. Refer to 

 for 

information on creating custom avoids.
Custom Road Prefs—allows you to avoid or use Major, Medium, 

and Minor roads using a slider scale. This is especially nice if you 

want to avoid major highways, for example.
