Garmin 2720

While on the road, how can I avoid a particular highway?
For example here in Connecticut the Merritt Parkway goes to NYC from my
town. Also I-95 goes to NYC.
The Garmin plots out the I-95 route. I rather go the Merritt Parkway. If I
do go via the parkway the Garmin keeps trying to route us back to I-95.
How can I avoid that?
thanks in advance,

See page 24 of the manual - Avoidances

Settings - Navigation - "down arrow" - Avoidance set-up - Add new
avoid road - select beginning and end of road you wish to avoid. But
you wouldn't want to do it whilst literally "on the road"

Thank you for your reply. I'll have to go to the Garmin site and get a
manual. The one that came with it did not even have 24 pages.
Thanks again, and no I won't do it "on the road".

Just stay on the Merritt and ignore the Garmin. Sounds like you know the
route well enough.

Edwin,
Please. Hopefully, you are trying to illustrate a sense of humor
and will reply later.
As indicated in the post, that was "an example". The point being, parallel
roads, Edwin.
As in: while on the road, how can the one provided be avoided.
