There is nothing you can do. It is designed to be used over in UK and Europe where avoiding traffic means avoiding the highway. Garmen will keep you chasing you tail with suggestions on changing your settings. What you have is usless junk. One good thing about the Nuvi, it will get you to you destination, unfortunately it may take you 10 miles out of your way. If you are ok with the long way and being late for meetings, the Nuvi is for you.. Jim – I’m with you. read my entries from May 20th, December 22nd and December 31st. There is nothing you can do.

It could also just be a mapping anomaly. Sounds like you could have a routing preference set incorrectly– perhaps setting shortest versus fastest route or some sort of avoidance set.

I used it for a longer trip (Minneapolis to Rockford, Ill) and instead of keeping me on I-94 to I-90, it tried to route me onto every side road and every small town between the two cities. I find it kind of useless for longer trips. I have also experienced the same issues that the ETA lowers when I don't follow its directions. That just makes no sense.
