| not that i've ever seen
tomtom's can avoid specific parts of routes
and tomtom's can use mapshare to block off specific roads for yourself, but that would be time consuming  |

| reply to hdtvtechno22 It would be sweet if there was such a thing! I have telenav on my t-mobile g1 (and sony ericsson phone, trying it out to see which phone works best) and it has the option to avoid traffic but if i can avoid a train, even better! If i can take a different road to avoid a 10 minute train, that would be worth it. -- The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult.

That's what i get for living near the burlington northern and union pacific lines. Suburban chicago is just like that. -- The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult.
