"have you tried using the my chevrolet or onstar phone app to load routes? you can load a destination with turn by turn directions or to the nav system from the app. haven't tried looking at what the routing does."
No I have not, will look into that, thanks.
What I am trying to do is build a route to Florida from the Canadian Maritimes a distance of about 2000 miles, stopping over at four overnight locations, routing us into these locations and into several fuel stops about 14 total along the way, using vias to do this and also rerouting us away from Boston, New York and Washington by taking I95, I495, I90, I84, Pa 109 (Delaware water gap) to I 78 to I81 to I66 to Va 17 to I95 to I295 around Richmond to I 95 and straight to Florida so you can imagine all the vias that we use on designing the route on the Garmin and downloading it to the Garmin DEZL.
What we do to make it more managable is make five routes, day one to Lewiston, Me, day two to Cabelas, Pa, day three to Flying J at Kenely, NC, day four to Flying J at St. Augustine, Fl and day five to Sebring all with several fuel stops.
As you can see a lot of vias and many stops but the Garmin handles it well. But in paying about $700 Cad for this GM GPS I think it should be more than an expensive monitor, it should be as good as the Garmin or better but so far am very disappointed but am still trying to get something good from it.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
