I don't think Interstates go anyplace today that trucks didn't go before interstates. So anybody should be able to get there without interstate

They just get there twice as fast, which even being retired is important to me, as i'm a Get There type, it let's me spend more quality time at my destinations, i could care less about seeing the biggest ball of yarn, or the worlds largest pile of mud, or any of the tourist traps, like Wall, SD, or South of The Boarder, SC, and avoid big cities religiously, even with a car, would much rather go out of the way.

I'm sorry, I thought the OP was wanting to know if somebody could get where they were going, not would it take longer. IMHO, often the extra time is well spent, because the drive is more enjoyable. Think about 5 hours in a boat to get down the lake for a Dr appointment. Now think of same hours, same boat, but you are catching a fish every few minutes.
As for finding a way to navigate around cities; From the time I got my GPS I started saving points off the interstate to navigate thru. Program where I would go past them on my way to destination. Get a few miles from the exit, check my mail. Scale closed, step up the pace until I get past. Would the same programing work to avoid a city?
