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]]
== Routing ==
These options impact the route finding: * Optimize routes - if If disabled, the order of your destinations will not optimizedbe re-ordered. * Type of vehicle - The mode of transport used for routing. * Number of rounds - Divide stops over [[multiple rounds]], e.g. drivers, vehicles or days.
* Navigate with - The service used for turn-by-turn gps navigation, started by the [[Navigate]] button or [[Fulfillment]] dialog. == 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 algorithm, 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. * Geocoding preference - The geocoder service that is used for your addresses. * API key - Your optional API key for geocoding services, for high volume users only. Keep empty for normal usage. * Suffix address - Text to be added to addresses when sent to the [[geocoding]] service. May be used to add a city, state and/or country. * Replace tabs - If enabled, any tab in your addresses will be replaced with a comma. This may improve geocoding when copying addresses from spreadsheet. * Search area - Sets the area to look for addresses on the map. Select XS for small (e.g. village) and XL for large area (e.g. world). * Check address precise - gives If enabled, a warning if is given when a [[geocoding ]] service does not return a precise result, e.g. no street or house number. * Add what3words: Enable to add the unique 3 words address from the [https://what3words.com/ What3words] system to each location you enter.
== Styling ==
These options impact the appearance of the [[user interface]]:
* [[Map style]] - 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'' (case-sensitive, use only lowercase)
== Print ==
* Maps in driving directions - Add detailed maps for destinations in the [[driving directions]].
* Print all details - Add [[driving directions]] and travel distance and duration between stops.
* Print width - The page width when printing (default: 800px).
* Map height - The map height when printing (default: 400px). When set to 0, the map will not be printed.
== Parameters ==
These parameters are used for [[Find route|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%.
* Unit of capacity: Select the unit to be used for capacity restrictions in [[multiple rounds]]. E.g. use "m3" if your vehicles have a maximum volume they can load.
* Capacities: Sets the capacity for each round, such as vehicles. One number for each round, seperated by spaces. E.g. set to "6 6 6 6" if four vehicles have maximum 6 m3 capacity.
== WEBFLEET ==
Only for TomTom Telematics [[WEBFLEET]] users. This tab is used to enter your user credentials.
