Selecting Destinations Choosing the Route Method Every route is calculated based on the Route Method criteria selected. Every time a new destination is selected, the Magellan RoadMate prompts you for the method that will be used to calculate the route. Shortest Time: This selection calculates a route that should take the least amount of time using speed limits and other information in the database. Other factors, such as traffic conditions, cannot be used in the calculation of shortest time. Shortest Distance: This option calculates the route using the most direct route to the destination. This route may not be the fastest due to lower speed limits, left turns or other factors. Least Use of Freeways: This selection calculates the route avoiding freeways whenever possible. Most Use of Freeways: This selection calculates the route using freeways as much as possible. View Destination on Map: Before you select your Route Method, you can see where you are going. 32

Choosing the Route Method
Every route is calculated based on the Route Method criteria selected. Every time a new destination is selected, the
Magellan RoadMate prompts you for the method that will be used to calculate the route.
Shortest Time
: This selection calculates a route that should take the least amount of time
using speed limits and other information in the database. Other factors, such as traffic
conditions, cannot be used in the calculation of shortest time.
Shortest Distance
: This option calculates the route using the most direct route to the
destination. This route may not be the fastest due to lower speed limits, left turns or other
factors.
Least Use of Freeways
: This selection calculates the route avoiding freeways whenever
possible.
Most Use of Freeways
: This selection calculates the route using freeways as much as
possible.
View Destination on Map
: Before you select your Route Method, you can see where you are
going.
