Main Menu
Time: causes time to be used as the criteria for calculations and creates a route that will be faster to
drive but may be a longer distance; Shorter Distance: causes distance to be used as the criteria for cal-
culations and creates a route that is shorter in distance but take more time to drive; Off Road: creates a
route as a direct line from your present position to the selected destination.
Setup Tab: Road Routing
Ask My Preference— Yes: displays a prompt each time a road route is created asking for your route
preference; No: uses the route preference setting above and does not display a prompt each time a
new road route is created.
Calculation Method— allows you to control how thoroughly the GPSMAP 196 searches for the perfect
route. A trade-off exists between the length of time it takes to fi nd a route and the quality of that route
(or how close to an ideal route is determined). Quickest Calculation: gives the fastest results and
minimizes the time you have to wait; Best Route: results in a longer time for route calculations but
provides the best possible routing.
Calculate Routes for— takes full advantage of the routing information built into the MapSource map
data. Some roads have vehicle-based restrictions associated with them. For example, a street or gate
may be accessible by emergency vehicles only. Or, a residential street may not allow commercial truck
traffi c. By specifying the type of vehicle you are driving, you can avoid being routed somewhere you
cannot legally go.
Off-Route Recalc— Automatic: will automatically recalculate the road route if you are off course; Road Routing settings defi ne how thoroughly calculations are
Prompted: provides a pop-up prompt if you are off course asking if you would like to recalculate the performed, the type of vehicle you are driving and road features

you wish to avoid.
Next Turn Pop-up— Automatic Only: temporarily displays next turn information on a pop-up screen
immediately prior to reaching the turn; NRST Key Only: displays next turn information on a pop-up
screen only if the NRST key is pressed; Off: disables the next turn information screen.
Avoid— provides check boxes to select items you wish to avoid: U-turns, Toll Roads or Highways
(interstates or major highways). Route calculations will attempt to avoid any of these selected items
unless it is impossible or impractical to avoid them (if the route would be unnecessarily long).
