Default There is a better way
We also do that trip from Indy. The problem with Alabama is that it adds so much time to your trip.

The last two years Google Maps started having us avoid Nashville and route 24 to Chattanooga. It has us get off around the Mammoth Cave area and cut across the countryside to Chattanooga.

It should do that automatically but refresh Maps a bit before Mammoth Cave and it should adjust the route to avoid the pain of driving through Nashville.

We then spend the night on 75 near Chattanooga and leave the hotel around 8 am. You hit Atlanta after the morning rush the way.

But use Google Maps for all it's worth. Nashville and 24 are horrible.

Is that still a good route or should I be looking at going through Birmingham to get to 10 and catch 75 to TV? Understanding we may be getting another dose.
