the Map page and press MENU.
2. Select Custom Avoid. Press ENTER.
3. Press ENTER when the Add Avoid button is highlighted.
4. Select Avoid Road or Avoid Area and press ENTER.
5. Use the Rocker key to move the arrow to the first point in the
avoidance area. Press ENTER to select the first point.

route calculation and navigation, the GPSMAP 296 will avoid
the area within the box or the selected area of the road.
