Navigation route options - are they as useless as they appear?

[deve]

Hi


I've got a 2012 Ford and one thing that has always puzzled me are the navigation route and driver options.


Why would you choose a fast v eco v short route? Wouldn't you just want the fasted way to reach your destination? I don't get it.


And driver - leisurely v normal v fast - so my nav system will give me an ETA if I drive like grandma driving to church on Sunday? Eh? Why?!


Yes - I use much better methods these days such as Waze or google maps but these route options have always made me curious. Were they added just to add something - anything - but with no real point?
