I purchased the Quest so I could get off the beaten trail and AVOID motorways and such at all costs.
However when, for example, I plot a start point from London to a destination in Sheffield and putting in the avoidance of highways (I guess this an Americanism for motorways ), the first thing it does is take me straight to the M1.
Ok, so now I put into the custom avoidance, AVOID M1, despite calculating away for yonks it still sends me up the nearest junction to the M1. Even if i try the road avoidance feature (a start and an end point at the beginning and at the end of the M1) it comes up with '....this never expires' , and low and behold I'm on the M1 again.
So what's the trick? How do I plan a route without boring motorways? Do I have to tediously put in waypoints along the way which are off the M-ways, or i there an easier feature on the Quest which avoids these roads?
Thanks in advance!
