Getting the best out of ecoRoute (Part 2)

#1996

Post by fugglefeet »

Hi and welcome to Part2,

Now that we have programmed the motorway/highway fuel consumption values into ecoRoute, we now need to enter the fuel price (per litre):-

Once all the parameters are entered into ecoRoute, the next screen will ask you to confirm the parameters:-

Once you tap Done on the screen, you will be presented with a screen advising you to use the at the pump feature when there are fuel price changes:-

Once you tap OK, that is ecoRoute programmed and ready to start logging data relevant to the vehicle information entered. Even when the GPSr is not navigating an active route, the ecoRoute will at power off present a summary of the journey, showing the distance travelled, fuel consumption, cost of the fuel used and amount of fuel used (as shown in the image below):-

Hope this information helps.

Hi Joe,

Why not? I myself am not a fond reader of manuals and only when I am really stuck will I resort to RTFM.

Hi folks,

Instead of calling it tutorials, why don't we call it Howto's? That is the buzz these days. Thoughts on that?

That sound good to me. The discussion regarding changing speed limits is off topic. I will move it tomorrow when I am back in Welkom under a new topic (Updating speed limits) The signal strength here at the Vaal Dam is .......
