That's exactly it. Say I put in a route to go from Chicago to St.
Louis, but I don't want to take I-55, so I try to change the routing
options, but the only ones available are Direct, East and Maximize
Freeways. But if I were to put in Chicao go Kankakee, I have those
three routing options, plus Minimize Freeways and one other (I don't
remember what the 5th option was). It's quite annoying.

On a related note, has anyone tried to go to the hondanavi.com site?
There's a link from the main Honda site that there is an updated DVD
available, but taking that link results in Mozilla saying, "Waiting
for hondanavi.com" which just eventually yields a blank page.
