Default Nav question!

2015 coupe, is there a way to get more than one route? On most nav's I have used, you get more than one route to choose from, but on my Vette I only get one. I took a trip to California and it took 50 mi. before it quit trying to make me turn around and go the way it wanted me to go.
Is there an option I can set to give me more than one route? I have google maps on my phone, but I want to use my Nav in car.
Thanks

If there's a way, I'd love to know as well.. But I don't think there's an option :\ The stock nav seems to be pretty useless compared to using google maps

Yeah. It's a drag. Mine is always wanting me to take the ferry boat. When I actually do, the system says, "Warning! Ferry!" I've found that if I need the Nav for where I am going, I just wait until I get ten miles down the road away from the ferry before I invoke it. It then behaves and takes me the way I want to go.

I've had half a dozen Nav systems over the years, and they all have different peculiarities.

There is a setting for fastest route vs. shortest route, etc. You could change that. But if you have a particular route you want, and it's' telling you to go some different route, you could set a waypoint that makes it take the route you want.

I have a 16 and asked the same question a while back and been verified, you can't see 3 different routes at one time and pick one.
The only way to see the different Routes is by selecting Shortest, Fastest, or stay off the highway... one at a time.
Then view the one you picked to see that route, and go back and pick another one to compare it.
So far that's my only complaint, but you do have to wonder what they were thinking programming it that way
