Building a Route using the Chevrolet GPS
Hello, I have a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado with an in-house GPS. I would like to build a route in it from South Central Florida to the Canadian Maritimes a distance of 2000 Miles with about 25 Waypoint...

my 2015 manual has information on uploading and using other gps routes to the nav unit.
What I have found extremely useful is to just call onstar and tell them the route you want to take and they will download it to the car. As an example we wanted to follow highway 1 as much as possible or 101 where it joined from san diego to cresent city. took onstar gal about 2 minutes to get it downloaded. And the directions on turns etc. through conjested areas was way better than my garmin or google maps had.
you could probably do the call onstar each day with the route you want including identifying the major roads and they will likely download it for you each day.
I will agree that the POI's may not be as current as garmin, but the map display and turn by turn directions are way better than any of my current garmins are, including the RV760.
