Kylie,  

When making a pedestrian route the current system will look for the route that 
is the shortest in terms of distance. When making a vehicular route, the
current system will look for the route that has the highest posted speeds 
limits which almost always means redirecting you to the freeway.  

If you are wanting to modify a route the GPS creates, you must save it, then 
add/modify/remove waypoints and save it. If you are wanting the  modified 
version
of the route in the future, you must go and open  the customized route.

  When setting a destination, are you directed through the shortest route? Does 
the system also give you a selection of routes so that you can choose the best 
one? Can you modify the route the system provides?

    Most streets are included in the system and most stores are included in the 
system. It is possibel to create routes to smaller streets; I was actually very 
surprised when I set my destination to a place in China Town which is in San 
Francisco and the GPS signaled to turn at what I thought was just an alley that 
didn't go anywhere.

    Are only large streets included in the maps? If so, how do you create 
routes using the other streets, if they are not includd in the system?

    We can't, but you can make a POI at the entrance of the street.

      Hi folks, Can the names of small streets be added to a map in a town?  I 
couldn't find that information in the manual.  Thanks.  Donna
