the list of roads to be avoided will only be cleared from memory once you stop navigation or turn off
the unit.
The StreetPilot III lets you select a specifi c detour
distance and calculates a new route based on this
information.
Via points are intermediary points that can be added to
your route using the ‘Add Via Point’ option under the
‘Via Point’ feature of the Routes menu.
