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
