Y garmin gps will not allow me to use toll roads..keeps leading me off

Do a hard reset on your GPS. Download and install Garmin Express from Garmin. Plug your GPS into your computer. The software will identify your GPS and allow you to download new maps to it.

Menu icon, system settings, preferences

Some GPS has this problem once in a while. When it happens, turn the GPS off and restart it again. Problems should be solved.

When you plan an itinerary, and the GPS gives the 407, look for an alternative. You will be able to use the avoid (roads, toll roads, etc.) feature. My TomTom allows me to avoid specific places.

Get your self a maual for that Garmin,,,If the answer isnt covered there,,,,,Google the same question and end up on a Garmin forum where others are talking about the same problem,,,Als see if Garmin has a toll free number for trouble shooting your unit.

go to Tools... Settings.... Map..... under Preference chose Faster.... under Avoidances make sure you have only the areas you want to AVOID checked.....

It sounds like your Nuvi is set on "off road". Please look for the setting that allows you to select "faster time", "shorter distance" or "off road". Your unit is probably set to "off road" where you are given directions like a compass and not by roads.

you should be able to buy a sd car to increase the memory.

Yes, very easy to do. Click on the wrench/tools symbol. Then click on the Navigation icon and then select "Avoidances". Press and put a check mark next to the text that is labeled "Toll Roads".
