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...

Thanks ktmrfs, that was my backup plan if I cannot do the info in the manual re Lats/Lngs, as long as the online help will give me the vias as I want them like fuel stops, Overnights & changing the highways as desired.
Your suggestion is a great one and I will see if the call center can do that and I will report back.
Thanks to everyone that answered and I agree with several.
My idea of a great GPS is I want to build the route on my 17" laptop and download it into the on-board GPS but that is not going to happen since GM has had years to do it.
My ideal would be to (a) get MS to revive streets and trips and (b) create the route on streets and trips and (c) upload to the GM nav for the GM route guidance.
BTW we have on 3 occasion run into a HUGE traffic stop due to accidents. in all 3 cases I called onstar and they were able to give me accident status, expected wait times, and then when I told them we were pulling a 35ft trailer they were able to download a reroute around the accident in two case on a route that was trailer friendly. On the 3rd occasion, I knew the road, I90 over lookout pass, accident completely blocking both lanes. we were on the montana side, and from where we were there is basically NO reasonable reroute. traffic was stopped for 25 miles so we were able to get off at an exit just as traffic stopped. But they did give an estimate of when the traffic would be moving, called at that time, they gave me an update that the traffic jam was now ONLY for 10 miles but moving. So we gave it another half hour. much better than being stuck in a 25 mile string of stopped cars.
