location, naming, and
address range. Unverified roads are s
hown only when viewing
the map in the 1/20, 1/8 and 1/4 mile map scales.

The maximum size of an “avoid area” is 1/2 square mile. If your selected area contains a freeway, you are asked “Do you want to avoid freeways?” Answering “No” allows you to use a route through an avoid area on
a freeway without any
pop-up messages. You can select areas to
avoid, however you
cannot select roads or areas that you want the system to use for routing. You can enter up to 25 ch
aracters for the name.
