Styling

These options impact the appearance of the user interface:

• Map style - Select another theme for the map.

• Retina maps - Allow the use of high resolution maps (only on retina screens).

• Maps in driving directions - Add detailed maps for destinations in the driving directions.

• Show labels - Add text labels for each location to the map next to the marker.

• Buttons with text - If disabled, the buttons on the website do not show text.

• Print width - To change the css page width for printing (default: 800px).

Parameters

These parameters are used for route finding and savings:

• Unit of distance/volume/weight, currency - Whatever you like, need or know. Note that you'll need to save the options to have the new units displayed in the next parameters.

• Avg fuel economy, fuel costs and avg carbon emission - Only used for savings calculation, has no impact on optimization.

• Speed - The percentage of the normal speed to use in planning. Use 100% for normal speed. If our routes are too fast, e.g. total travel time is too small, use a value below 100%. If our routes are too slow, use a value above 100%.
