Route Type (Ignore 'B' roads?)

Former Member
Former Member
I have used Garmin for a few years now and am wanting to upgrade to a newer Garmin unit. NB.My current model is the 'Garmin streetpilot C510 deluxe).

I have always moaned about not being able to select an "Ignore 'B' roads unless absolutely neccessary" option (as on MS Autoroute) because even though I select the 'Fastest route' option it still occasionally insists on taking me through single lane 'B' country roads instead of sticking to main roads; which definately are not the quickest route 9 times out of 10.

Do the modern Garmin units have a more intelligent route selection? ie. the addition of an ignore unneccessary 'B' roads option?
If so which models have this option? (for £200-ish or less)

thx for any responses.

    Why on earth did you post this here - in a feature request forum for Garmin Connect. Rubbish!

    I was requesting an improved 'FEATURE' which allows single lane country roads to be ignored. doh!

    I appologise if this feature is not really what you call a feature I shall just have to go back to using a map again in future. silly me!
