Unpaved Roads; Motorways; Ferries; U-Turns - HP 914c - iPAQ Business Messenger Smartphone Navigation Manual

Note:
Excluding a road type is a preference. It does not necessarily mean total
prohibition. If your destination can only be accessed using some of the excluded
road types, HP iPAQ Trip Guide will use them but only as much as necessary. In
this case a warning icon will be shown on the Route Information screen (Page
51 ), and the road not matching your preference will be displayed in alternate
colour on the map.

Unpaved Roads

Unpaved roads are excluded by default, as they can be in a bad condition and you
usually cannot reach the speed limit on them.

Motorways

When driving a slow car or towing another vehicle, you may prefer not to take
motorways.

Ferries

The accessibility of temporary ferries is not necessarily included in the map data.
Furthermore you may need to pay fare, so you may consider disabling them from the
preset enabled status.

U-turns

Although displayed amongst road types, this is a type of action. Most drivers prefer to
replace them with a few normal left and/or right turns in the next few junctions, so it is
disabled by default.
Turning back on dual carriageways is not considered as a u-turn.
Note:
If you are not totally against u-turns, leave them on here, and add a
penalty (equivalent extra distance to travel) in Advanced settings Route options
(Page 98).
Note:
Via points are handled as stopovers with regards to u-turns. It means
disabling u-turns on this page will avoid u-turns during the entire route if possible,
but when reaching a via point, the following part of the route may be planned
starting in the opposite direction.
