Cuz I sure could have used it tonight! What does it show, as far as HAZMAT? Is there a setting to route away from No HAZMAT roads, and city centers?

Yes... in your vehicle setup it asks if you have hazmat
Mrsn Thanks this. -
Thanks, good to know. On the DB comparison page, it says no, maybe that's now out of date.
Can you direct the routes you want? For example, when a GPS calculates a route, can you select a leg of it and change roads, like you can with Google Maps? -
There are different ways to alter your route settings
Stuka Thanks this. -
Icons that show "no-trucks allowed, low bridges, hazmat, and no-hazmat roads" -
However, I see how that could confuse. So I updated the comparison chart saying "Hazmat Routing" to "Yes for Rand and Garmin because if you choose that in your profile, then they will indeed switch to Hazmat profiles.
Attached is an example of what I meant by visual Hazmat or other restriction icons on the screenAttached Files:
