Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you
want to drive to your destination. Select
the desired method using the CHANGE
METHOD scroll bar back ( ) or
forward ( ) buttons.  “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 “short cuts” 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 during any time of
the day.
