Note: 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, HP iPAQ Trip Guide will use them but only as much as necessary. In this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route Information screen (Page 51), and the road not matching your preference will be displayed in alternate colour on the map. Unpaved Roads Unpaved roads are excluded by default, as they can be in a bad condition and you usually cannot reach the speed limit on them. Motorways When driving a slow car or towing another vehicle, you may prefer not to take motorways. Ferries The accessibility of temporary ferries is not necessarily included in the map data. Furthermore you may need to pay fare, so you may consider disabling them from the preset enabled status. U-turns Although displayed amongst road types, this is a type of action. Most drivers prefer to replace them with a few normal left and/or right turns in the next few junctions, so it is disabled by default. Turning back on dual carriageways is not considered as a u-turn. Note: If you are not totally against u-turns, leave them on here, and add a penalty (equivalent extra distance to travel) in Advanced settings Route options (Page 98). Note: Via points are handled as stopovers with regards to u-turns. It means disabling u-turns on this page will avoid u-turns during the entire route if possible, but when reaching a via point, the following part of the route may be planned starting in the opposite direction. 88
