Where you go on the Oregon coast changes the 'fastest' route options from Google Maps. Though overall distance and time doesn't vary that much.
Selecting Bandon in the south, it chooses 42 over the coast mountains, and I5 into Oregon. South of that the alternatives are up the central valley, or Nevada to Reno and a diagonal to Shasta area.
But choose a spot further north and it entertains the option of crossing the Oregon Cascades to Eugene.
And even further north and it crosses from Bend to Salem, and it stays on 95 all the way to Oregon.
