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!

    yes, this is easy to do. i am using a newelectronx gps which makes these steps very simple, so i would recommend using your manual with my simple instructions below. who knows your gps may be similar or this information may help land you in the right area to do it on your gps.

    1. press menu from the map screen

    2. press settings

    3. press route planning

    4. under route settings you will see a box that say "route calculation method" change it from short to fast, easy, or economical

    5. thats it

    hope it helps you out. :)
