Scenic routing and preferences

Open Routing Options in the route builder's panel to control the character of the drive, not just where it goes.

Fastest vs Scenic Route

• Fastest - the sensible, direct drive.
• Scenic Route - the signature move: a 0–100 twistiness dial that biases the route onto curvier, more interesting roads. Low values nudge it off the dull A-road; high values actively hunt out the bends. The route recalculates as you commit a change, so experiment.

Road preferences

Each preference is a three-way switch - avoid, no preference, or prefer:

• Motorways
• Fast Roads
• Quiet Country Roads
• Toll Roads
• Tunnels
• Fords & Water
• Cobbled Streets

Prefer quiet lanes and avoid tolls for a Sunday cruise; prefer fast roads for getting somewhere.

Preferences are steering, not rules

A preference changes how attractive a road type is - it doesn't ban or force anything. If the only way over a river is a toll bridge, an "avoid tolls" route still uses it rather than failing. So instead of pretending, the panel reports what actually happened: each active preference gets a tick ("Applied to this route") or a warning ("2 mi couldn't be avoided"), and the Routing Options button summarises it - "Scenic 60 · 3 of 4 applied".
