Short-route Selection
Plan a direct short route while preserving continuity and obeying the map's movement information.
From map instruction to checked route
Read the task, anchor the endpoints, remove prohibited movements, compare direct valid options and review the plotted result.
Core concepts
Concept 1
short route
Exam cue: Compare complete valid alternatives rather than choosing only the nearest first road.
Concept 2
local junction choice
Exam cue: Use the map to verify every junction and turn in the proposed short route.
Concept 3
fewest useful movements
Concept 4
direct endpoint connection
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Adding an unnecessary loop because it looks easier to trace.
Guardrail: Do not rely on an old assessment count, atlas format or remembered London route when the current map and task supply the controlling evidence.
Selecting a short-looking option without checking movement restrictions.

fewest useful movements and direct endpoint connection
Review these together when applying short-route selection.
Short-route Selection: avoid
Adding an unnecessary loop because it looks easier to trace. Also avoid selecting a short-looking option without checking movement restrictions.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
