Choosing The Routing Method - Magellan RoadMate 760 Reference Manual

Selecting Destinations

Choosing the Routing Method

Every route is calculated based on the Routing 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 Motorways: This selection calculates the route avoiding freeways whenever
possible.
Most Use of Motorways: This selection calculates the route using freeways as much as
possible.
View Destination on Map: Before you select your Routing Method, you can see where you
are going.
