Posted by awt300 GPS picks Tolls instead of a shorter route I would like my gps route if necessary but my Garmin GPS takes longer routes to routes to use tolls. I have heard it on the news few years back that GPS (not sure if it was one particular brand or all) choosing in favor of tolls routes. For example I was from driving from Reading, MA to Watertown, MA which is 10 miles away from Boston. My GPS took me from 93 South to Boston bypassing all the exits to Watertown. Took me to Mass Pike (tolls) West and then to Watertown a 20 miles of extra driving. This is one example. There has been few incidents like this. they maybe getting flat fees from the tolls people?
