Is there a way to set my new GPS Garmin Nuvi 255w to not give me the shortest distance?
It's giving me off road directions that I'd rather not take.
Thank you!

1 AnswerCar Audio1 decade agoMy Garmin Nuvi 255w won't speak TTS ( it will not say the street/road names.)?
I just bought my first GPS Garmin Nuvi 255w. I tried it for the first time today. It is suppose to name the street names in the directions, AND IT DOES NOT ! It just says turn left/right at so many feet, etc. Is it a faulty unit or am I doing something wrong? I couldn't even find Walmart on it and I was just across the road from it. ( I was just playing with it ) ;-) Other Walmarts show up---50-60 miles away. Why wouldn't MY Walmart show up on the thing. It did take me to my destination, but it didn't name the streets/roads. It won't even say my home street name. Can anyone please offer any helpful suggestions as how to set it to say the street names. I'll give you 10 points if you help me get it set correctly.
Also, is there a way to set it to not give me the shortest distance routes so I can take the main highways and not the off roads?
Thank you!

Any info will be helpful. It's running almost non stop. Will it harm the frige if it runs all the time? Should I unplug it? Can it cause a fire? I didn't sleep any last night, afraid it would catch on fire. The bottom section of the frige seems colder, the top, very warm. All my food is in ice chests. No fun! The repair man can't get here til Wednesday!!! Sears needs to hire more repairmen.....Could it be the gas that makes it cold.....iced coils.......How do I know if what I hear running is the fan or compressor? Thank you very much.

My sis and I have the same Motorola W370 Tracfone. Today we couldn't get a call thru. We kept getting a message that said, call failed, try again. Did anyone out there have this problem? This isn't good at all, when you depend on your phone and can't get calls to go thru. I think AT&T is the carrier. THANKS !!!
