Routing Type
CoPilot's Quickest routing type is based on the most efficient route in terms of road quality,
terrain, and urban/rural road classifications. CoPilot's Shortest routing type calculates the
shortest route while maintaining reasonable standards of practicality. A Scenic route will
take more rural and scenic roads wherever possible and practical. RV bridge heights apply
when RV is selected for the Vehicle Type (see p. 39).
Routing Options
When Avoid Tolls is checked, CoPilot's route calculations will avoid toll roads where it
is possible to do so while maintaining a reasonably practical and efficient route. When
International Borders Open is checked, routes may cross international borders to provide
better routing. If this option is not checked, no borders will be crossed. Check Break Every
to include a break time in your driving directions and ETA calculations, then type in your

road type if there is no other efficient alternative.
