Changing Road Types Used - Pioneer AVIC-U250 Owner's Manual

Checking and modifying the current route
The route calculation can be optimized for
different situations and vehicle types by
changing the planning method.
! Fast:
Calculates a route with the shortest tra-
vel time to your destination as a priority.
! Green:
Calculates a quick but fuel efficient
route based on the fuel consumption
data given in Route settings. Travel cost
and CO emission calculations are esti-
2
mations only. They cannot take eleva-
tions, curves and traffic conditions into
account.
! Short:
Calculates a route with the shortest dis-
tance to your destination as a priority.
Usually practical for pedestrians, cy-
clists or slow vehicles. Searching for a
short route regardless of the speed, this
route type is rarely practical for normal
vehicles.
! Easy:
Results in a route with fewer turns and
no difficult maneuvers. With this option,
you can make this system to take, for ex-
ample, the freeway instead of a series of
smaller roads or streets.

Changing road types used

To recalculate the current route with different
road type preferences, follow the steps below.
p To let the route fit your needs, you can also
set which road types are to be considered
for or to be excluded from the route if possi-
ble. Excluding a road type is a preference. It
does not necessarily mean total prohibi-
tion.
p If your destination can only be accessed
using some of the excluded road types,
they will be used but only as much as ne-
cessary. In this case a warning icon will be
shown on the route parameter, and the part
of the route not matching your preference
will be displayed in a different color on the
map.

vehicle.
! Period Charge:
Set whether to include toll roads with re-
stricted time access where you can pur-
chase a pass or vignette to use the road for
a longer period of time. This option can be
enabled or disabled separately from toll
roads.
! Per-use Toll:
Set whether to include toll roads where
there is a per-use charge. The navigation
system includes toll roads by default.

tion system includes ferries by default.
