The Options button on the top right opens the options dialog with several settings.These have impact on the user interface, the address finding and routing of stops. [[File:Options.jpg]]

These options impact the route finding: * Optimize routes - If disabled, your destinations will not be re-ordered. * Type of vehicle - The mode of transport used for routing. * Number of rounds - Divide stops over [[File:20151125 RouteXL options dialogmultiple rounds]], e.g. drivers, vehicles or days. * Balance - Optimize total travel time vs clock time needed to finish all rounds (makespan). * Max roundtime - Maximum duration of a round when dividing stops.  * Home address - The default departure address that will automagically be added to the map each time. * Default departure time - Your departure time from which arrival times are calculated. * Default service time - The default service time, used for arrival times and time windows. Changes will only apply to newly added addresses.png|thumb| * Navigate with - The Options service used for turn-by-turn gps navigation, started by the [[Navigate]] button or [[Fulfillment]] dialog showing . == Advanced == These settings are advanced feature to impact the route planning [[Algorithm]]. They may be experimental or may give unexpected results. Use with care. * Turn penalty - adds turn costs to the algorithm, e.g. add 10 seconds to each left turn. * Stop penalty - adds roadside costs to the Routing tabalgorithm, e.g. add 120 seconds to each stop on the left side. == Geocoding == These settings impact [[Geocoding]], which is the process of finding addresses on the map.

Optimize routes * Geocoding preference - if disabled, The geocoder service that is used for your destinations will not be re-orderedaddresses.

Home address * API key - the default departure address that will be added to the map each timeYour optional API key for geocoding services, for high volume users only. Keep empty for normal usage.

Default departure time * Suffix address - departure time from which arrival times are calculatedText to be added to addresses when sent to the [[geocoding]] service. May be used to add a city, state and/or country.

Default service time * Replace tabs - default service timeIf enabled, used for arrival times and time windowsany tab in your addresses will be replaced with a comma. This may improve geocoding when copying addresses from spreadsheet.

Geocoding preference * Search area - Sets the geocoder service used area to look for finding addresses on the map. Select XS for small (e.g. village) and XL for large area (e.g. world).

Suffix * Check address precise - text to be added to addresses If enabled, a warning is given when sent to the a [[geocoding ]] service. May be used to add does not return a cityprecise result, state e.g. no street or countryhouse number.

Check * Add what3words: Enable to add the unique 3 words address precise - warning if a geocoding service does not return a precise result, efrom the [https://what3words.gcom/ What3words] system to each location you enter. no street or house number

These options impact the appearance of the [[user interface]]: * [[Map style ]] - select Select another theme for the map. Note that the [[algorithm]] will always use OpenStreetMap for your routes, no matter what map style the user interface has. * Retina maps - Use high resolution maps on retina screens. Some map styles may show very small characters. * 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. * Desktop notifications - Display a notification when a route has been found. * Time format - Select 12h or 24h clock, e.g. for displaying arrival times. * CSV seperator - Character to be used to split fields in the CSV [[download]]. * CSV fields - Select the columns to be included in the CSV file. Keep empty for the default, or use: ''stop, address, name, distance, duration, comment, servicetime, demand, heading, arrival, ready, due'' == Print ==

Retina * Maps in driving directions - Add detailed maps - allow for destinations in the use of high resolution maps (only on retina screens and when available)[[driving directions]].

Maps in driving directions * Print all details - add detailed maps for destinations in the Add [[driving directions]] and travel distance and duration between stops.

Show labels * Print width - add text labels for each location to the map next to the markerThe page width when printing (default: 800px).

Buttons with text * Map height - if disabledThe map height when printing (default: 400px). When set to 0, the buttons on the website do map will not show textbe printed.

These parameters are used for [[Find route|route finding]] and [[savings]]: * Unit of distance/volume/weight, currency - whatever 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: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%.

Avg fuel economy, fuel costs and avg carbon emission - only * Unit of capacity: Select the unit to be used for savings calculation, has no impact on optimizationcapacity restrictions in [[multiple rounds]]. E.g. use "m3" if your vehicles have a maximum volume they can load.

Speed - * Capacities: Sets the percentage of the normal speed to use in planningcapacity for each round, such as vehicles. Use 100% One number for normal speedeach round, seperated by spaces. If our routes are too fast, eE.g. total travel time is too small, use a value below 100%. If our routes are too slow, use a value above 100%set to "6 6 6 6" if four vehicles have maximum 6 m3 capacity.
