And another problem. We in Europe, especially in Germany, have the following types of roads:
Autobahn (Freeway/Expressway/Interstate) Fernstraßen/Bundestraßen (Highways) Landstraßen (countryside highway/country road/rural road) Kreisstraßen (county road)
Maybe now you can see the problem with a US based Road-System in this device. Lot of people use the 27x series here in Europe on a motorbike. Ist a very nice device for driving with it. But motorbike ridingin europe will most time avoid Freeways but use highways. There is no way to tell the GPSmap to do this. The information of the street type exists in the map but you cant use it.
Nearly every cheap GPS device from an electronic dealer thats build for european use have such a feature. If you tell that device dont use freeways it dont use it but it use highways. All Garmin devices I know ignoring this. You can only setup avoid highways and the device brings you down to the smallest streets.
This is part of big discussions here in Germany. It would be very nice if you take a closer look on this. The GPSmap278 is build for Europe (preload Euro) and should consider this. We dont need the option 'car pool lanes'. This dont exists here. Give use the avoid options 'Freeway' and 'Highway' separatly and tell the device to consider this.
