Pedestrian mode finds the shortest route available on suitable pedestrian network, in maximum length of 10 km. Helicopter mode is for navigation in terrain (with snap to route disabled) or for directional guidance (no route calculated on road network) to destination (with turned on snapping to road).
Highways Enables or disables highways for usage in calculations and navigations.
Toll ways Enables or disables paid roads usage in calculations and navigation. Route type User can choose in between Fastest or Shortest route. Fastest route chooses highways and high -speed roads for navigation to maximize time efficiency. Shortest route is using any road that enables driver to drive the shortest distance.
