Why incur a penalty just because the roadway is unpaved? A better solution would be to have the ability to request paved roads only when routing. That way the user could decide whether an unpaved roadway should be selected or not. I suppose the best solution would be to allow the user to select whether unpaved roads can be used for routing, and also allow the user to select the "penalty" to apply for unpaved. I fight with my GPS all the time. I tell it to never use unpaved roads, but it will put me onto them quite often. Then on the other hand it can try and send me on long detours some times when I know I want to take that 2 mile shortcut on gravel to save 40 miles on pavement.
