Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> Route planning
The 1st Section of the Route planning Menu Screen applies when you have already planned a route, the route has been calculated and you are DRIVING the Route
On the Live Tomtom Devices 'When a faster route become available' the device will....
Option... (1) = 'Don't ask me' --> Always take the Fastest route
Option... (2) = 'Always ask me' --> Before taking the Fastest route
Option... (3) = 'Don't Ask me at all' -->Stick to the planned Route
Route planning screen... Section (1)
The 2nd Section of the Route planning Menu is the default Route planning type for ALL Route planning
Option... (1) = Fastest route
Option... (2) = Shortest route
Option... (3) = Most eco-friendly route
Etc... Etc...
Route planning screen... Section (2)
Scroll screen for more Menu options....
The earlier NAV2/3 devices are Menu focused
Asking all of the questions and button pushing at the start... Then device planned the route
The Latest NAV4/5 (Wi-Fi) devices are Map Centric (Tomtom Speak)
The Route planning has the highest priority (95% of the time I want the Fastest Route... Job Done)
On the odd occasions I want something different, say I want to 'Avoid Motorways'...
After Planning and Calculating the route
I Tap the 4Dot (....) Menu --> Current Route --> Avoid Road Types... Choose Route Type required 'Like' (Avoid Motorways) the device recalculates the route avoiding Motorways
Scroll screen for more Menu options....
Note... In Image 3 above the Menus have changed ....
After the last NavKit update the Avoid Motorways option was moved to a new menu....
Now you... Plan & Calculate your Route -->
Tap 4Dot (....) Menu --> 'Current Route' --> 'Avoid Road Types' --> Select... 'Avoid Motorways'
I think the idea is now they have added Tunnels & Country Borders to the list, is to have all the 'Avoids' listed in one Menu....
To Always 'Avoid' Motorways etc....
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> Route Planning
Scroll all the way down to sub menu 'Route planning'
Turn off 'Motorways'
To Avoid' Motorways etc... On a Route by Route basis....
Plan & Calculate your Route -->
Tap 4Dot (....) Menu --> 'Current Route' --> 'Avoid Road Types' --> Select... 'Avoid Motorways'
