Alright tech guys and or gals, i have a Garmin 60csx and whenever I try to go to a way point using roads, it will NEVER let me use toll roads. Now being here in Southern Ontario, the fastest and easiest way up north or back home is the HWY 407, express toll route. Every time I try to go from here to there or there to here with the 407, it is constantly re-navigating itself trying to get me off the damn tool route and into the city with smaller highways full of city traffic and lights. Isnt there a setting I can change to make it use the toll roads as well.

Also, anyone in Canada know if you can change this model to KM's instead of Miles, my speedo in my truck stopped working so I always have to look down and see what the equivilent is in KM's from the miles display on my GPS LOL.

Thanks.

RD, I am guessing that this function is built into the mapping software that your are using. How did you load the GPS? Does the software allow you to edit the fields to use for mapping and then reload to the GPS? Maybe you need to see if there are any fixes online or upgrade to a newer version that allows this function.
