Greetings Fellow Members: Is there a way to change a Route when viewing in Simulation mode to, another, if I dont like the present. My Nuvi 1490 Lmt seem to prefer a hard way,
Detour?

Not Possible
When you are in simulation mode it is following the directions of the original route you have chosen, no way to change this.
If after selecting faster time or shortest distance, you still do not like the route, you must create a new one using Basecamp or Mapsource for your 1490LMT.
My own experience with the newest maps are they don't give the best routing at times so you must create your own.
Edit: Never tried detour, I have to give it a look.

Possible to change simulated route, but can't save changes..
You can edit the active route in simulation mode for testing purposes. Just go to Menu > Tools > Routes > Active route > Add/remove points. Unfortunately, you can't save the changes to a saved route for future use.

Changing Route 1490 lmt
thanks a million fellow members for your precise answers. i will look into creating routes from MapSource and/or basecamp which i am not savvy nor have the expertise to do it. However i may look for a PDF file for help. Thanks to all 3 members. I will post my answers.
Try mapquest.
You can create a route in Mapquest, then import it to your nuvi 1490. That way you don't have to install or learn BaseCamp or Mapsource.
There was a pretty good discussion recently about route transfer from Google, Mapquest, etc. You will find it here: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/37124
