Creating, editing, or deleting custom avoidances on a nüvi® 800, nüvi® 805, or 5000 series

Your device allows you to set up custom avoidances so that you can avoid specific areas and lengths of road. This feature is useful if you want to avoid certain streets because they are a problem to travel on, as well as avoiding certain areas where your vehicle may not have the capability to travel, or if you simply do not wish to travel in that particular area.  A maximum of fifty (50) custom avoidances can be created. 

Note: Custom road avoidances may have to be re-set after each map update. Custom area avoidances should remain accurate and intact.

To access custom avoidances:

1. Touch Tools
2. Touch Settings
3. Touch Navigation
4. Touch the box adjacent to Avoidances
5. Touch the box adjacent to Custom Avoids
6. Touch Add New Avoid Area or Add New Avoid Road

After selecting the desired type of custom avoidance, you'll be able to select the area or road that you want to avoid.

To edit or delete a custom avoidance:

1. Access the Custom Avoidance menu
2. Touch View Custom Avoid List
3. Touch the Custom Avoidance you would like to edit or delete
4. Select the desired action
   • Rename will allow you to type a new name for the selected custom avoidance for easier identification
   • Disable/Enable will turn the selected custom avoidance off or on without permanently deleting it
   • Delete will permanently delete the selected avoidance

Repeat these steps as desired to edit or delete other custom avoidances.
