By changing the route search method, you can search for the
optimum route for a variety of situations and types of vehicle. See
the following items for more details.
You can set which road categories to include or to avoid in the route to
match the user's preferences.
Avoiding a road category is simply a matter of changing the priority
level. This does not mean that the selected road category will never be
used. If the navigation cannot reach the destination without using a
road category that should be avoided, the road category will be used,
but only as little as possible. If this does happen, a warning icon is
displayed on the My Route screen.
In the road category list you can check the number of sections used for
each road category on the current route and the overall distance.
