Author Create my own routes, then check on traffic & construction to find best

Does anyone know if any auto gps can do this...

I drive to LaGuardia each day. It's about 1 hr drive. I have 3 ways I can
get there. Three differents routes. I want to create my own routes, then
have the gps check on the traffic and construction on those routes and tell
me which is the quickest.

Why do I want my own routes..I don't like driving on the Long Island
Expressway. Too many 16 wheelers. All the gps I see all choose the route and
I have no input to pick and save a route, or avoid a certain road.

It would be great if there is a firmware update on day allowing me to at
least save a route to a location.

Thanks in advance,

Pete

It's pretty simple and pick your choice

1. Since it sounds like you know the area well enough to get from one =
place
to other without using GPS or don't have to use the route GPS give you. =
And
if you just change to different route then the chance that GPS will
re-calculate and give you a different one.

2. You can tell it to go from Point A -> B -> C. Me? I just ignore =
couple
re-calculating warnings and usually work fine.=20
