I'm at the point now where I have to double check all my routes now as I don't trust my unit to get it right the first time. I have said it before, we don't need shortest or fastests routing just PRACTICAL.Last edited: Mar 28, 2015
dannythetrucker Thanks this. -
What I really want is more user-inputs to adjust the routing. Things like:
Governed/maximum speed: so it doesn't give additional time weight to roads faster than you drive
Maintenance per mile baseline: So it knows how much that 20 mile detour costs
Avergage mpg
Cost per hour baseline
Then it ought to look up on its own:
National average fuel price
Road tax per mile (quarterly IFTA and weight-distance rates when you dock)
Terrain severity
Average traffic density
Then maybe add $0.25 per stoplight and $1 per stopsign, all to come up with the lowest cost routing for owner operators.Last edited: Mar 28, 2015

Having the option to route around large cities would actually be nice, like if you know traffic will be ugly around rush hour, tell it to avoid and route you around, kind of like how it will (I think) give you the option of a new route due to traffic. Just let you default it.
