Default Nav question

Everytime I use the nav to get me somewhere, it takes me down back streets and side streets even though there is a main highway nearby to get me home.

What am I doing wrong?

Sounds like you are selecting "shortest" as opposed to "quickest" route.

Check out the route settings. You have it on side streets and not on freeways and highways. It's in route options.

Go into your menu and select Route Options. On that menu select Route Preferences. On that menu you have apparently have the Allow Major Roads option de-selected. You need to have that selected for it calculate a route using the highways/Interstates.

Either Route Preference as others have described OR your area is like Austin, TX for the Nav. and Hiways 6-8 years old don't exist as far as the Nav is concerned.

The Nav map for Austin is a JOKE, good for laughs only.
