Make the desired changes to the following fields: Route Style-select Use Auto-Routing to generate turn-by-turn automotive routes that follow the streets and highways on your map. Select Use Direct Routes to generate straight-line, "as the crow files" routes. Calculation Style-select Faster Time or Shorter Distance. NOTE: "Faster Time" routes usually utilize highways instead of side streets. Vehicle-select the desired vehicle from the list (bicycle, car, pedestrian, truck, etc.). Try to Avoid-select the types of roads and maneuvers you want nRoute to try to avoid incorporating into your route. Driving Speeds-select your average driving speeds for each type of road.
