Permanently avoid a highway

[Yesterday's Shoveler]

Is there anyway to permanently avoid a stretch of highway when route planning? We've got about five miles of a major highway that will be shut down for reconstruction for more then a year. I'd like to add it to a "blacklist" of sorts if that's possible?

This would be on a TomTom Eclipse (DUO? AVN2210p?) with the 6.553 software.

Thanks!

Sure, use the map edit section, and block the highway... just remember not to share it with other users!

Please excuse my ignorance on this, but what is the "map edit section"?

He talked about Mapshare on Navcore 7, you don't have it.

must be talking about I-64, traffic not as bad as they said, you have to block it each time you plan a trip

Yep, not nearly as bad as the "news" stations had hoped. I live in the city and work in St. Charles county, my commute has actually improved. They can leave it shut down!

it's a hassle, but plan your trip and then choose avoid portion of route, view it and choose I-64 I-40, to avoid, should reroute you, sucks for the gps, I also read where Tripquest and other Map aren't avoiding it on there sites, feel sorry for travelors using I-64 in St Louis for next two years.

Create an itinerary file that bypasses that section of highway.
Download TYRE to help with that.

You know, you could also report this to TeleAtlas at TeleAtlas.com
That's the company that provides maps to TomTom
