    I have the Garmin Dezl GPS and overall I am quite pleased. I am having a few problems and wonder if another trucker can help. The unit keeps announcing dangerous curves. Probably 90% of those curves are just normal highway curves that certainly do not require any warning. Last week I ran through northern Ontario and the warnings were constant. Is there a way of adjusting how severe a curve has to be to give a warning? Just seems ridiculous to just keep giving warnings for no reason! Is there a way of removing routes from your "recent" route list. I can get to a screen to kill them all but I only want to eliminate a few.
    Thanks

    No, for some reason it really concentrates on the Canadian side. So you either have to shut off the curve portion or mute the device.

    So how do you shutoff the curve warnings? Not just the audio but the whole warning.

    Well on mine you go into tools, and find the custom options. There you can set to avoid toll roads etc, just uncheck the curve warning.

    Can you re-route the map to the roads that you want to use (other roads than that which are given by the unit) with the Garmin units? My company gives you a mandatory route they want you on. Can you reset the route on one of these units to that which the company requires?

    I also wanted to get rid of the millions of ATM and food icons. But when I did that the audio for the scales and borders went away. I also do not get any construction warnings or reduced speeds for construction areas that are a year old.
