Winding roads and itineraries

You can also use the winding routes feature in combination with the itinerary planner.

Tip: The range of winding routes offered to you depends on the availability of alternative streets and on the distance between the waypoints. Waypoints force your route along a specific road. The number of alternative winding routes is reduced if you choose a lot of waypoints or if waypoints are a short distance from each other. As a result, we recommend using the minimum number of waypoints in an itinerary if you want to use the winding route option.

There are two methods for using winding routes with itineraries. The first is to select just city centres and a route is planned bypassing those cities but using them as a guide. For example:

  1. City centre 1
  2. City centre 2
  3. City centre 3
  4. Home location

This method, as shown in the example above, calculates a route from your current position using the three city centres as a guide and finishes at your Home location.

The second method uses actual locations that you know you want to visit.
