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

avoid, however you
cannot select roads or areas that you want the system to use for routing. You can enter up to 25 ch
