Can you choose a route to avoid an area (such as New York CIty) you know you do not want to travel through?

In my experience you have to set a via point so the GPS will route in the direction you want. For example. I travel from central KY to northern WI. The GPS will route me through Chicago and all the toll roads and traffic. So I set a via point at Normal, IL after I have entered my WI destination. The GPS will ask you if it's a new destination or if you want to add it to the active route. You choose "active route" and you get the opportunity to pick where in the line-up it goes. So you can set multiple via points if you wish.

I just ordered this unit. In the Settings, There should be a box marked avoid Toll roads. I've seen it before on an older one.

not really. I found this contraption useless, as it only indicates a direction to follow, regardless of obstacles on the route. I quickly offered it to a "good friend"...

Yes you can,and stop and start any zone from anywhere on your property. Works great!

yes, In the city (worked fine in Manhattan, Bronx and Queens) .If you plan to stay in the suburbs you might encounter coverage problems in some areas.

Yes .When you select a destination you select current route and then from the menu, you can select walking, bicycle or car.

Yes, but it may not offer you every single possible route. I usually get 2-3 options and it compares the mileage and arrival times for those options.

I agree with the previous answer and I would also not use them in a high traffic area.

Yes, you can plan alternative route. It will tell you mileage & time. You can then return to original route or stay with new.

I tried it a couple of times to my normal runs into NYC and was disappointed. The worst part is that it shut down on me while on a truck route that it did not consider a truck route. It may be the case that it works well elsewhere. But for NYC at least I would be very leary to rely on it.

Yes you can. I have my home address in the address book so that from wherever I am I only have to select "Home" and punch "GO" and that's all to get home. No, it does not always optimize the route but if you would like to take a "more scenic" route you can change it's mind and go from there. It will get you back on path.

I don't think so. There are ledges on each side that may prevent you from doing that.

Really?? Please tell me you do not operate a car?....if you do, please tell which city you drive in so I know to never go there. Thanks.

Touch the arrow in the upper left corner and a drop down will give you the complete route. Hope that helps....

Go to details; there are several options & 1 of them is something like " review as text"; it will list the directions, 1 at a time, telling you you'll turn left on main st, travel 4.2 miles, and so on.

When creating a route to a destination you may select least use of highways/freeways. Thank you.

I believe you can use the via concept to go off highway. We travel all over and we have not had any trouble finding our way no matter where we've gone. Always try to know where you want to end up and the places you might see on the way. That way you may realize when you are lost.

It allows you to avoid unpaved roads and toll roads in the settings. Additionally it says "this route has tolls" for routes with tolls. I've never gone on an unpaved road so not sure if it warns for those or not.
