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 some suggestions for finding the routes less traveled when you don’t know the area.

  • As Gooma said and get state maps. Use US highway routes. In fact many of them are in better condition than some of the Interstates. After you plan your route; make a cheat sheet to follow. Use your GPS of nav. system to keep track of where you are rather than what route to follow.
