Set route and road-type preferences

On the Route menu, click More Options, and then click the Segments tab.

The default route preference setting for each segment of your route is the Quickest route.
For each segment of the route you wish to change, click the segment, and then click one of the following to set your preference:

Quickest for the most time-efficient route for the selected segment

Shortest for a route of the shortest possible distance for the selected segment

Preferred Roads to assign your road-type preferences to the selected segment

Note Changing the preference for a route segment to Preferred Roads has no affect on the route until you also set road-type preferences.

To set your road-type preferences
1. Click Preferred Road Types.
2. For each type of road listed, adjust the sliders to indicate your degree of preference:
3. Click OK.
Notes

Preferred Road Types is not available until you first select Preferred Roads for at least one segment of your route.

The preferences you set apply to every segment of the route you identify as Preferred Roads.

Click Reset to return road preferences to their standard settings.

MapPoint finds the route that best matches your preferences for a given route segment, even if it means you will be driving farther or longer than you would using other road-type preferences.
Click OK in More Route Options.
On the Route menu, click Get Directions.
