I have been riding with my Garmin Nuvi 255W since I bought my FZ6, and was using a Nuvi 200W on my ZX6R and CBR before then. I have been increasingly frustrated with my Nuvi because it constantly wants to send me on dirt/gravel roads. The other day I went over an hour out of my way trying to find a detour for the dirt roads and ended up having to go down a few. I looked at my trip log when I got home to find out I could have very easily bypassed the entire area. There was really no reason for me to have to go down any dirt roads my entire trip, but I ended up having to take quite a few. I know some people might say just to tough it out and ride it, but honestly I would rather not if I can. I will say that the FZ6 handled really well on dirt, way better than my other two bikes (even two up + light luggage).
My question is does anyone have or know of a GPS that can be set to avoid dirt roads (and actually avoid them!)? I can set avoidences on my Nuvi, but only for things like traffic and highways. I would really like to stick with Garmin if I can, but I may have to jump ship and buy a different brand.
Thanks
