The Options button on the top right opens the options dialog with several settings.

Styling
Map style - select another theme for the map
Retina maps - allow the use of high resolution maps (only on retina screens and when available)

Parameters
Units of distance, volume and weight plus 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 three settings:
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%.
