How About Avoiding POI's?

 

How about this idea for a firmware upgrade: under "avoidances", include a sub-heading of "custom POI's". Then one could choose to use routing that would avoid a set of POI's (like Dunkin' Donuts).

Or more seriously, choosing a route that would bypass any intersections with red light cameras.

I like that idea. You could

I like that idea. You could avoid police stations, school zones, even your in-law's house..

I doubt it'll ever happen though. Oh well..

Cool idea....

I kinda like the thought of that. I've wanted Garmin to update the "avoidances" items on the 550 to include interstates. I would love to specifically avoid just them, but can't.

Hmmm... however, if I could "avoid" Mickey Ds... I might have a shot at loosing some weight! -grin-

Advoidance

I do know that you can add areas in MapSource to avoid. This then gets uploaded into my StreetPilot. This is under Preferences -> Routing -> Advance
