MapSource Routing properties. What where they thinking?


I just starting playing with the the routing features of Mapsource. Much to my disappointment the routing properties are global rather than being a property of the route or better yet route group. I use Mapsource for a couple of routing needs. I use it for my bicycle and I use it for my car. I can set the routing properties to bicycle, good enough but it still picks dangerous roads as part of the route. Yes I can add this to the areas to avoid but I might want to use these roads for my car.

At the very least the areas should be tied to the vehicle selected. Same thing for the MPH settings. I can travel a lot faster in my car then on my bike. Why should I have to reset these figures every time I switch vehicles?
