This tab contains the fields whose value can affect the route calculation.

| Optimize by |
Specifies whether Get Route should find the shortest distance or the shortest time route from the Start to End Point. It can be one of these options:
|
| Historic traffic time bucket | Specifies whether the routing calculation uses the historic traffic speeds. These speeds are based on different time-of-day buckets. The data must have historic traffic speeds included in order to use this feature. The data for each country and region has the same bucket definitions, where the speeds for these bucket values may vary. The options are: None The default value. Historic traffic data is not used in the calculation. Instead an averaged speed value is used. AMPeak Calculate routes with the peak AM speeds. The AMPeak time bucket is from 07:00 to 10:00 hours. PMPeak Calculate routes with the peak PM speeds. The PMPeak time bucket is from 16:00 to 19:00 hours. Off-PeakCalculate routes with the off peak (daytime) speeds. The OffPeak time bucket is from 10:00 to 16:00 hours. Night Calculate routes with the nighttime speeds. The Night time bucket is from 22:00 to 04:00 hours. |
| Use major roads for calculation |
Specifies whether to include all roads in the calculation or just major roads. If you choose to include only major roads, performance will improve but accuracy may decrease. The following map represents a route with travel allowed on all roads:
The following map represents the same route with travel restricted to major roads only:
