Where is Avoidance Setup on the Montana 750i?

According to the Montana 700 series manual (page 50, copyright 2020), there is supposed to be an Avoidance Setup option in Setup > Routing > Advanced Setup: "Sets the types of roads, terrain, and transportation methods to avoid while navigating." However, when I go to Setup > Routing > Advanced Setup on my brand new 750i, with software version 18.10 (15b9405) installed, all I find is "Lock on Road" and "Calculation Method." Has Garmin moved or eliminated Avoidance settings? If they're still there, where can I find them? I found some youtube videos that show avoidance settings on automotive GPSes, but not on handhelds like the Montana.

Thank you,

Terry

Do you have activity set to prompted? i think avoidance setup is activity dependent, as you'd want different setups for driving a car or hiking.

Yes, prompted. I mostly use the GPS for pedestrian walking or hiking, but have been experimenting with it for auto driving, just in case the Waze app on my phone ever fails me.

Hello 5293031 If you have the activity set to prompted you will not have the avoidance option. You will need to set the activity to a specific activity to see this option.

Yes. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I've been busy. When I changed the activity to automobile driving, the options were there. The Garmin 700/750 manual was unclear on the issue.
