Select the type of vehicle you are traveling with.

Depending on the selection, NUNAV considers different characteristics and restrictions in route calculation, for example, for cars, motorhomes, buses, or trucks.

Supported Vehicle Types & Modes in NUNAV Navigation

Avoid Toll Roads

If this option is enabled, NUNAV tries to avoid toll roads as much as possible.

Depending on the region, this may lead to longer travel times or a longer route.

Avoid Highways

With this setting, NUNAV prefers roads outside of highways.

Please note that this can significantly increase both travel time and route length.

Note: Roads that are similar to highways in construction but are not legally highways may still be part of the route depending on signage.

Navigation View

Determine whether the navigation is displayed in a 2D or 3D map view.

This setting only affects the display of the map and not the route calculation.

Zoom During Navigation

Determine how far the map automatically zooms in or out during navigation.

Depending on the setting, you will either see more details in your immediate surroundings or a larger route overview.

Automatic Route Overview

On longer routes, NUNAV automatically briefly shows an overview of the upcoming route.

This gives you a better overview of the further course of the route without interrupting the navigation.

Unit System

Here you determine which unit system should be used.

Depending on the region, kilometers or miles may be displayed.

Display Speed

Displays your current speed during navigation.

The displayed speed is determined based on your device's position data and may slightly differ from your vehicle's speedometer.

Display Speed Limit

Shows the known speed limit for the current road section.

The speed information comes from OpenStreetMap and may be incomplete or incorrect in some cases. Traffic signs on-site are always authoritative.

Gas Stations

Displays gas stations along your route and shows them during navigation.

Charging Stations

Displays available charging stations along your route and shows them during navigation.

Energy Saving Mode

After a longer standstill, NUNAV automatically reduces the app's energy consumption.

Once the drive is resumed, the app automatically switches back to normal navigation mode.

Note

Some settings only affect the display of additional information. They do not influence the actual route calculation.
