Avoid highways between some waypoints

I have some routes that require interstate part of the trip and back roads other parts of the same trip. Other than going to avoid highways and creating a ton of waypoints, can the app make those adjustments?

@Ricky-Farrow Unfortunately not, the avoid highways tool is either on or off. You shouldn’t need to add that many route points to create your intended route.

In my humble opinion, the best way to make a route is to put sufficient waypoints on the whole route and that can include putting some waypoints on a highway. The options in the routeplanner toolbox do not influence the settings of a GPS device.

@John-Chaves As @Lars-Jensen said, but this is only available for gold accounts using either the Here or TomTom planning maps.

this would be a nice feature

@Lisi-Mayr It might be a nice feature, but I would guess it would be almost impossible to create the algorithm for it.
If you want a mixed route, it’s not difficult to drag route points onto or off of a highway.
