warning
It is STRONGLY recommended that you check the box next to Auto Re-Route and set the value to between 1,000 feet - 3000 feet or 300 - 1000 meters. Not doing so can create problems while routing and/or re-routing. One of the problems can be the program announcing that you are "missing a turn" when you are not.
