As far as I know all Garmin GPS units have some built in avoidances like U-turns, toll roads, unpaved roads, etc. Some Garmins even have the ability to load custom avoidances, but you'd have to find them and load them via computer.

All you need is a Lat and Long and a name that you want for that location.
