Magellan RoadMate 3000T prompts you for the method that will be used to calculate the route.

using speed limits and other information in the database. Other factors, such as traffic
conditions, cannot be used in the calculation of shortest time.

destination. This route may not be the fastest due to lower speed limits, left turns or other
factors.

possible.
Most Use of Freeways
