Once entered, your Quest avoids these roads/areas unless no other roads are available or until you

the check box to the left of the avoidance name and press OK. An unchecked box indicates that the
road/area will not be avoided.
To change the name of an avoidance, select the ‘A’ (as shown above) and use the onscreen keyboard to
create a new name. Select the clock to choose the date that you want the avoidance to expire. Select
the ‘X’ to permanently delete the avoidance.
