Favorite way to skip the interstates?
I get lazy with my routing sometimes and rely too much on Google Maps and my in-dash nav. It’s easy enough to skip the interstates in an area you’re familiar with, but I’d be interested in hearing...

Use google maps but click on “route options” and select “avoid highways”. That’s misleading as it only avoids interstates, not other highways. It will chose other highway options more or less parallel to the interstates.
Exactly the way we do it, but we also select "avoid tolls". Those yayhoos in central FL can't build a new road without it being a toll road, and frankly, we find that taking the non-toll options many times get us where we're going quicker, and without all the idiots on the road weaving in and out at 20-30 miles per hour over the posted limit (and never a LEO in sight).
Thanks for your efforts Ike, but sticking to US highways, state highways, and the occasional county road have made for some wonderful travels over the years.
