    • As long as the switch is activated, all new stops in your routes will receive this service time (which can be adjusted manually at the stop if necessary).

The “Toll scenarios” section lists all known existing and future toll scenarios. The toll scenarios are organized by global region and country. Using the drop-down menu, you can select individual countries, multiple countries, or all countries within a global region.

  • For future toll scenarios, you can select the applicable toll date when creating a route (see also “Toll scenarios” in the route details).

  • In the “Surcharge” column, you can enter a percentage to be added when calculating the route costs for the applicable toll zone.

    Note: If official updates are available for a toll scenario, the value in the “Surcharge” column is reset.
