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...

The WAZE app would likely have given you the exact same information in real time (likely where On-Star gets their information) about the traffic. You would have needed to look at a map to ensure the re-route plan would be on roads you would be happy with.
very true. The Waze app wasn't around when I ran into the problem on I-90. and google maps will usually give you some traffic info as well. just not the detail that WAZE or onstar can give.
Also XM radio has a traffic app that is pretty decent as well for traffic incidences. At least with XM "all" you need is a clear view of the southern sky. I use "all" in quotes because that isn't as easy as it seems in many places.
The other problem with WAZE or onstar is they only work if you have cell service. Onstar is now ATT so if your out of GSM range, no way to contact onstar.
Our phones are verizon, so between the two, it helps. often one or the other has service in places we often go. but not always.
