Same with me. They are much more relaxing than the interstates. And you get to see more towns and landmarks.My favorite way to travel is on the old US highways.
Frankly interstates scare the heck out of me.Same with me. They are much more relaxing than the interstates. And you get to see more towns and landmarks.
I will certainly have to have a good one before trying this for sure. My phone app isn't very helpful when I am trying to avoid the highway. My mom has a giant old paper map book of the whole US and maybe more. I will be sure to keep that!!Try setting your GPS to avoid highways and dirt roads and also use the shortest route. The route that it chooses may be twisting and turning through all kinds of little towns and on narrow roads but you'll go places you never would have on your own. Just remember that GPS can lead you into places where you really shouldn't be attempting to go so reset it if you find that happening. It's a good idea to check the route on Google satellite view or on a paper map for any problems before setting out.
I learned about that feature on Google Maps a couple years ago. Look for the 3 little dots next to the Start location. Eg. Set a route in Google Maps by choosing a start location and a destination. Next to the start location will be three little dots. Click on it and choose Map Options. Select "Avoid Highways"I will certainly have to have a good one before trying this for sure.
