directions

You can do it with via points and avoiding roads.

Pointless though if you have been given directions that you need to follow.

 

If you have all the latest updates and map package ...u should be able to load you destination and press the Compare Route buttons...and proceed...also turn on toll roads in the settings so it calculates ALL possibilities.

 

If there's no history yet, then you may not be able to use the history button yet. Also, just because its new out of the box, doesn't mean it doesn't need updated. Its actually pretty common to need to update a new gps with the most current maps, and sometimes software.

 

I don't why either of the trucker GPS devices don't allow a user to use a stylus, put the device is "custom route mode" or whatever, and select which roads to use (and thereby which not to use) to match a given set of directions. Or at least be able to "drag" the given route to match what you'd prefer.

 

The Garmin 760LMT learns your preferred routes automatically. So, once you have been there and know how to get there without it, it knows how to direct you to the place. Not one of the most useful features.
