Navigation settings

6.1.1 Route options

These settings appear before each route calculation. (Unless set
not to ask—see below.) To bypass the route options, tap "OK"
when the first window appears. Or tap "Next" to select each of
the following.
Select activity:
Bicycle or pedestrian
Route optimization:
Flat favors flat sections.
Hilly favors hilly sections.
Short calculates the shortest route to the destination,
regardless of inclines.
Straight line distance plots a straight line from your
current location to the destination (bearing navigation).
Note: The selected route optimization impacts the length of the
route. For example, choosing "Flat" will avoid the steepest
sections, which may result in a longer route.
Route preferences:
A red "x" indicates this type of route will be avoided in most
cases. (Individual routes may disregard some preferences, as
necessary for route calculation.) A heart symbol indicates this
type of route is preferred.
Bike paths uses or avoids cycling paths (only in bicycle mode).
Hiking trails uses or avoids hiking trails. (Hiking trails can be preferred in pedestrian
mode)
Steep downhills uses or avoids gradients of over 8% (only in bicycle mode).
Road travel uses or avoids roads (only in bicycle mode).
Ferries uses or avoids routes involving ferry connections.
Tunnels uses or avoids routing through tunnels.

6.1.2 Set routing

Set audio guidance during navigation by voice or with a beep. The voice issues spoken turn-
by-turn directions with indications of distance. The beep warns you with a beeping noise
when you approach a turn, or when you deviate from the calculated route. (Tip: Switch to
beep to save battery power.)
