 Dont ask me  
Always plan this type of route 
The types of route you can choose from are as follows:

 Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the 
quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.  
 Most eco-friendly route - the most fuel-efficient route for your journey.  
 Avoid motorways - this type of route avoids all motorways. 
 Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.  
 Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.  
Avoid on every route 
You can choose to avoid ferries and car shuttle trains, toll roads, carpool lanes, and unpaved roads. 
Set how your GO Mobile app should manage each of these road features when the device calculates 
a route.  
Carpool lanes are sometimes known as High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes (HOV) and are not present in

example, or the car may need to use environmentally-friendly fuel.
