Mapping app that lets you avoid freeways?

CoPilot app = $10 for full version (Android or Iphone). Working free version with some limitations. Both will let you set your profile - car, RV, Motorcyle, Bicycle, Walking. You can tell the app you do not want to go on various types of roads or tell it so much percentage allowed on this type road or that. As long as there is a route that will allow you to follow those settings it will route you that way. Maps store on the phone - no need for data use when navigating. Optional traffic (free with first year) does use minimal data to give updates and reroute for traffic.

One warning I will give in these times of rapid change (Of operating systems)

When I upgraded from 8.1 to 10.0 Suddenly S&T did not work "Licensing error" it said.

A quick Re-Install (I still have the original CD with KEY) and all is good.

DO NOT LOOSE THAT CD

I recommend a locking fire safe type box.. (What I use for important stuff)

You just need to learn how to use Google maps.

With Google maps, all you have to do it select your destination and then go to "Route Options" and select "Avoid highways" and you will be routed on regular roads and not highways/freeways. You also can select "Avoid Tolls" and "Avoid Ferries". Also, for the record, "apple maps" pales in comparison to Google maps!

You could do what all the others suggested or you could go with the simplest solution, if you don't like the route Google maps calculates, click on it and drag the route to a different road and it will recalculate.

Miss Garmin has a rag in her mouth and she is inside a suitcase never to see the light of day.......

Paper map shows ALL I need and it doesn't talk back if I should change my mind.

Hi Vulcan,

As I found out to my dismay in Florida. The road did start out four lanes paved, then two lanes, then two lanes with no shoulder, then gravel, and finally sand. Guess where it started to rain? I made it through but boy oh boy was I glad to see the pavement. WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US Okefenokee roads are no place for an RV.

Well, That isn't Street Atlas,

Well.....there's always an exception isn't there ???

4-lane limited access Interstate roads are called "highways" in 5 different brands of GPS AND at least 3 different brands of mapping software.

I figured there would be one that did it differently......but I just haven't run into it yet.

P.S. I also have yet to find an electronic "map" that properly characterizes most of the "unimproved" roads (meaning sand and weeds) in Florida.

When you purchase Street Atlas, you get two disks - One for the program and maps, the other for a nationwide telephone directory.
There is an install key to get the disk to work, but yes, you may put it on a second computer. That is what I did when I was using a standard PC at home and a portable in the rig. Do all the planning and then just transfer the route and 'draw' files to a USB drive and then load those files to the proper directory on the portable and it's good to go!! Now, I just use a single Dell Laptop with a 17 in screen and it is great at home and in the rig.

I use an old fashion, fold up, paper map.
When the zombie apocalypse happens (it is coming) and the GPS satellites go out of service, I'll be able to navigate. ;)

Hi,

Does street atlas allow multiple installations on laptop computers?
