That's why I only use pay phones, and ALWAYS wear a cooling vest.

That's not what I am longing for. I want to designate a certain road by number or name...or just follow the Blue Ridge Parkway from Asheville to Blowing Rock, for instance.

The only way I've been able to do something like this is to use waypoints. I pick points along the route I want, then upload them into my Garmin.
Then when I put in my destination, I also enter the "via-points" It's klunky, but it works.
I'd also like a GPS / Mapping software combination where I can plan my trip, upload it to my GPS,and the GPS doesn't reroute me based on the preferences set in it.
Not only does my Garmin think for itself and override what I planned, she gets a tad bit "naggy" when I do my own thing...

The Garmin does like to reroute you if the auto recalculation is not turned off.
Do you know why the voice on the GPS is a women's?

No guy would every nag you as much as she does.

I use the British voice, and she keeps getting me lost. I think it's because she's unfamiliar with the American roads... She is also a lot quieter if I drive on the left.
