Default You need the fastest way

Most GPS units can be programmed either shortest route or fastest route. If you are traveling from here to NC I would think the fastest route would be better. Shortest route will take you on any road so your travel is less miles, not considering the speed limits, etc. The fastest route will take you on Interstate roads and considers the speed more important, less travel time.
