How to force "Least Use of Highway" on A Garmin Nuvi
From: GPS Magazine.com
You frequently hear people say they wish the Garmin nuvi had a routing option for "Least use of freeway", the way Magellan's RoadMate units do. It turns out you can force the Garmin nuvi into calculating the route so that it avoids highways whenever possible -- Garmin just doesn't make it obvious. Here's how to do it:
1] Select navigation from the Main Menu
2] Then select Avoidance
3] Then highlight avoidance highways
The nuvi will now avoid highways on all routes until you reset it. This can also be done while en route. The downside is that you have to set/unset this each time you want to change it -- but at least it's possible! Now you know.
