I've just been checking my handbook.
If you select
Information followed by
Route Selection you'll have these choices:
- On main roads
- On minor roads
- Fastest route
- Shortest route
"Minor roads" actually means "not motorways" so you'll be directed on 'A' roads whenever possible.
"Shortest route" is taken very literally so you're liable to be taken through housing estates. It's best avoided!
Frimley to your home is quite a tricky one. M3, M25 and A217 is straightforward but a bit of a loop! A331 south then A31 east which joins the A3 to M25 J10 cuts off a lot of miles and is fast dual carriageway all the way. To obtain directions for that requires a bit of lateral thinking. Did you know that you can enter Guildford as your destination and "A3" as the road? That will get you on the right route and you then keep going until you hit the M25!
Maybe I've confused you even more?
