Particularly useful is the ability to add locations to the base map. You can also add a note and identify it with a symbol on the map. Several symbols are already present and you can add more. Business travellers could use these to indicate, for example, the location of branches of their company, clients, or even places they like to eat during long journeys. Use the barrier feature to designate areas that the software should avoid.
Typical uses are to show road works and areas known to be particularly heavily congested.
Travelmanager has a good range of personalised settings. Miles and kilometres are both catered for, you can set textual route descriptions as compact or extensive and you can configure five custom settings of road speeds and travel costs. The two work together so you can pre-designate how the software calculates journeys and their costs. This is useful for people who may get different mileage allowances for different kinds of job and it means you can set up criteria for holiday or leisure driving. The road settings are particularly comprehensive and let you set driving speeds on eight different kinds of road, including unmade and very low speed as well as your preference for single carriageway and urban roads.
