3. In Distance until off route, type the distance from the route at which FH Mobile Response should consider the vehicle off-route and prompt you to return to the route.

   Note: The margin between this value and the Distance until the route is recalculated value is essentially a buffer zone, in which FH Mobile Response prompts the driver to return to the initial route.

4. In Distance until waypoint reached type the distance from the route destination at which FH Mobile Response should consider the destination reached.

   Example: With the default value of 50 feet, when you are 50 feet away from the destination, FH Mobile Response considers the route completed.

   This value helps to account for forward motion of the vehicle.

5. In Distance until street point reached, type the distance at which FH Mobile Response relays the next routing direction.

   Example: With the default value of 50 feet, when you are 50 feet away from the next turn (street point), FH Mobile Response relays the information for the turn.

   This value helps to account for forward motion of the vehicle.

6. In Distance until the route is recalculated, type the distance at which FH Mobile Response takes your current off-route position and recalculates the route, using your current position as the starting location.
7. In Ignore GPS movements up to, type the fault-tolerance distance allowed for your GPS unit.
8. In Time until voice alert, type the number of seconds before the next-predicted spoken direction, based on the vehicle's current speed.
