GPS avoidances on or offFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

Not sure about this one Frank.  It sounds like the GPS is rerouting using the waypoints.  Can anyone else help?

Here is my situation. I am plotting many motorcycle routes using Plot a Route. I am attempting to plot my routes using as little freeways as possible, I am trying to create routes using twisty roads. Now this is probably more a Garmin Zumo question, but I find knowlegable people are on this site so i thought i would throw my question out here.

Seeing i am plotting these routes to use specific roads when i import them into my Garmin Zumo using GArmin Basecamp I find if i have my Zumo preferences to AVOID HIWAYS then the GPS will not follow my planned route and go on the hiway when i want it to. The same holds true when i turn HIWAYS ON the GPS will try to take me onto the hiway before my route should be going on the hiway.

I do try to put my waypoints in spots so the GPS will them, but why go by a waypoint if it can be detoured right?
I figure the GPS is trying to do what it was made to do, get you to your destination as quickly as possible.

Hope i am clear with my question.
Any thoughts?
