IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING ROUTE PLANNING:
The route planning function of MapKing™ is ONLY meant
to be and should ONLY be used as a crude reference. IT SHOULD
NEVER BE USED TO DETERMINE ACTUAL DRIVING DIRECTIONS. The
Route Planning function of MapKing™ is subject to
the following limitations:
Whilst we have taken great care and endeavours in developing
the product, we CANNOT guarantee that the road network
data and routing calculations of MapKing™ are free
of any omission or defect.
The road network and traffic conditions in the real world
are ever changing; MapKing™ being a pre-packaged
product cannot reflect all these changes on a constant
basis.
Road network parameters specifically required for route
planning, like one-way traffic indicator or turn restrictions
at street crossing, are difficult or almost impossible
to obtain for China or some other Asian countries. The
lack of these data would significantly affect the performance
of route planning. |

| Create Start/ Destination
(Routing points) |
| To initiate route planning, at least 2 routing
points (Start, Stop, and End) must be assigned. Tap at the
precise spot and select “Routing” to add a routing
point (Start / End / Stop), select “Remove Stop”
to delete a routing point. MapKing™ supports up to
a total of 9 routing points. It should be noted that Route
Planning is calculated from the embedded road network data.
Accordingly, the routing points should be placed either
on top of or very close to the street lines. There’re
3 ways to setup routing point |

| The parameter of ‘Option’
is as below |
| Recommended: This is the default Option based
on the parameters of each street line segments within the
road network.
Motorway preferred: Assigns high priority to expressways,
highways and freeways and avoid secondary roads and streets.
This is particular suitable for vehicle route planning.
Motorway avoided: Avoids expressways, highways and freeways.
This option is suitable when planning a cycling or walking
trip. You may also use this option during rush hours to
stay away from highways that are prone to traffic jams.
Shortest route: this option Ignores road class parameters
and calculates routes purely on length of road segments.
This is a rarely used option since the shortest route
in many cases does not mean the fastest route.

| Route Simulation |

paths. We also provide 2D/3D simulation. After Start and
Destination have been created, with the routing result you
may simulate the course of the planned route and have further
adjustment. |
