Shorter Distance—This setting uses distance as the primary criteria for route calcu-

lation. The calculated route will be shorter distance, but may take more time. 

Off Road—This setting creates a direct-line route from your current location to 

your destination. This may be useful outside the detailed map coverage areas.

The GPS V can prompt you for a routing preference each time you create a route, 

or you can set the preference on the Routing Setup Page and set ‘Ask Me Preference’ to 
‘No’.

You can also control how thoroughly the GPS V searches for the perfect route. 

There is a trade-off between the length of time is takes to fi nd a route and the quality 
of that route (i.e., how close will the GPS V’s route be to the ideal route). The following 
options are available:

Quickest Calculation—This provides the fastest results, minimizing the time you 

have to wait.

Best Route—This provides the best route, but will take longer to calculate. 

Better Route or Quick Calculation—These are compromise settings with emphasis 

on either route quality or time, respectively.

The ‘Calculate Routes for’ setting allows the GPS V to take full advantage of the City 

Select Maps. Some roads have vehicle-based restrictions associated with them (e.g., no 
commercial truck traffi c, no pedestrians or no bicycles). By specifying the vehicle type, 
you can avoid being routed somewhere you cannot legally go. Likewise, some settings 
(e.g., ‘Emergency’) will give you access to roads or turns that wouldn’t be available to 
normal traffi c.
