I have a 2015 Territory with a built in Sat Nav
I tow a caravan and find it very helpful when looking for a town location or getting out of a town But when going from one town to another it finds a route that often takes me to narrow country roads or even dirt roads to get to my location With a caravan behind this is not a good option Is there anything in the set up that will allow me to only use major roads Thanks in advance Regards Alan |

Have you tried installing Waze on your phone and giving that a shot?
Avoiding dirt roads is a navigation option, always up to date, tells you where the fuzz is hiding and free. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Thanks for your reply
My Sat Nav has the options Fastest, Shortest or Eco Route Mine was set on Shortest which I guess means using any road possible I have reset it to Fastest which I hope will keep me on major roads It also has the option to avoid freeways, toll roads, ferries, car trains and tunnels but this option has always been off |

The unit I have in FG ute is from ASL Automedia (forum sponsors) I can tick what roads I want, so dirt roads I eliminate,
I live on a dirt road and no sealed roads for 20k that creates little (female) hissy fits from the GPS it wants to have meltdowns.

Does your GPS settings allow for different vehicle types or vehicle size measurement settings.
