5.3.3 Traffic settings The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Whenever suitable data exists, traffic information can be taken into account in the route calculation. Button Description Use this switch to enable or disable historical traffic data and traffic patterns. This locally stored information can be very useful in normal circumstances but for example on public holidays it may be better to turn off in order not to take into account normal weekday traffic jams. Use this switch to enable or disable the TMC receiver that can receive real-time traffic information. The rest of the buttons below are all related to the TMC function and are available only if the receiver is enabled. This setting determines how your software uses the received real-time traffic information in route calculation. When calculating a new route, or when recalculation becomes necessary based on the received Traffic events, your software avoids traffic events if it makes sense. You can also set the minimum delay that triggers route recalculation, and you can instruct the application if you want to confirm every recalculation. Tap this button to open the list of traffic event types, and select which events to take into account in route calculation. 5.3.4 Route settings These settings determine how routes will be calculated. Button Description You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route. 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. You can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle profile, or you can even create new vehicle profiles if you tap More. On-road navigation creates a turn by turn itinerary using the road network on the map. Switch to off-road navigation to navigate between destinations in a straight line. The route calculation can be optimised for different situations and vehicle types by changing the planning method. See below for details. To let the route fit your needs, you can also set which road types are to be considered for or to be excluded from the route if possible. Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded road types, they will be used but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route 69
