Once entered, your StreetPilot will avoid these roads/areas unless no other roads are available or until you remove them from the Avoid List or uncheck them. Reference Customizing Route Settings Custom Road Preferences button The Custom Road Preferences button appears on the Routing tab and allows you create a customized preference for route calculation. For example, if you plan to take a trip that includes scenic routes, move the Medium Road Category preference bar towards Prefer and the Major Road Category towards Avoid. Your unit attempts to create routes that primarily use medium roads over larger roads. If you do not change any of the Road Category settings (Major, Medium, Minor), the overall Custom Road Preferences setting is equivalent to the Shorter Time setting on the Route Preference window (see page 47). As you continue to drive with your StreetPilot, it remembers and stores your driving habits. Thus, if you want your unit to automatically optimize the custom route preferences based on your driving habits; simply select the Auto Set button. For example, if you tend to drive slower than expected on minor roads, then the Auto Set option should move the Minor Road Category preference bar towards Avoid to cause the unit to avoid these roads even more than normal. Select the Reset button if you want the original settings to display. Note: When you customize this page or use Auto Set, these settings appear as a Custom option on the Route Preference window (see page 47). If you choose to select the Custom option, the Custom Road Preferences page will reappear, giving you an opportunity to further customize the settings. The example above indicates that you have no preference in terms of which type of roads your StreetPilot uses when calculating a route. If you desire one type of road, move the slider bar towards Prefer. When you customize the Custom Road Preferences page or use Auto Set, these settings appear as a Custom option on the Route Preference window. The Custom option icon will appear on the Route Preference window--even if you no longer want to use it as an option--until you delete the icon. The next time the Route Preference window appears, press the unit's MENU key and select the Hide Custom icon. 51
