Ferries
The accessibility of temporary ferries is not necessarily included in the map data. Additionally, since you
might need to pay a fare, you could consider disabling them.
Cross-border planning
By default your Travel Companion plans routes using the border crossing points. However, if you live
near the border, you can disable border crossing with this switch to remain within one country.
U-turns
Although displayed along with road types, this is a type of action. Most drivers prefer to replace them
with a few normal left and/or right turns at the next junctions. This option is selected by default, as
Avoid.
Turning back on dual carriageways is not considered as a U-turn.
NOTE: U-turns handle Via points as stopovers with regards to U-turns. It means disabling U-turns on
this screen avoids U-turns during the entire route if possible, but when reaching a Via point, the
subsequent part of the route might be planned starting in the opposite direction.
Permit needed
To access certain roads or areas, you might need a special permit or permission from the owners. These
roads are excluded from your routes by default. Clear the check box if your vehicle is authorized to enter
these roads.
Toll roads
You can select this option to disable Toll roads and configure your Travel Companion to plan the best
toll-free route, you may have to travel more to avoid paying a toll.
Carpool lanes (for the USA map only)
You can configure your Travel Companion to use carpool lanes when planning routes. These lanes are
currently available in the USA only.
This option is displayed only if the USA map is available in the Travel Companion.
Keep position on road
Your Travel Companion is intended for use primarily for vehicle navigation. Therefore Lock-on-Road
displays the position arrow precisely over roads, and corrects small GPS errors.
NOTE: By turning off Lock-on-Road you also turn off the GPS position error filtering. The position
displayed on the map is subject to possible position errors and position fluctuations.
Regional settings
On the Regional settings screen, you can set the languages, measurement units, and date and time
formats used by your Travel Companion.
