It doesn't matter whether I set mine on shortest time or shortest distance, it will often try to take me on unpaved back roads! And yet sometimes, inexplicably, it will take me five miles out of the way to keep me on Country Roads. It's as if a Gremlin lives inside my GPS. I reply on Mapquest and use my GPS as a guide.
