Changing Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you 
want to drive to your destination. Before 
selecting OK to calculate a route, you 
can change the routing method by 
moving the Interface Dial  down. The 
route choices will appear in the address 
box.
NOTE:
When you are en route and want to 
change the routing method, press the 
MENU button, and select  Change 
Method on the  MENU screen (Route).• “Direct Route” (the factory default) is 
the route that is the quickest (least 
time) and is usually the best choice. If 
you choose any other method, it 
becomes the new default for all future 
routing. Make sure to check the 
routing method if the displayed route 
is not what you  expected to see.
• “Easy Route” produces a route with  the least turns.
• “Maximize Freeways,” “Minimize  Freeways,” and “Minimize Toll 
Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then 
“Minimize Freeways” and “Minimize 
Toll Roads” may be grayed out. This is 
normal. The generated route may not be the 
route you would choose. For safety 
reasons, the system generally applies the 
following rules to your route:
• It tries to avoid shortcuts through 
residential areas.
• Right turns are favored over left turns  or U-turns.
• Restricted turns (turns that cannot be  made during certain hours) are not 
used for routing.
