Google Maps

[KarenB913]

Does anyone know if (and how) on google maps you can find/get alternate routes than the default one that comes up. Like on the internet you can go to google maps and it will give you more than just one way.

Thanks! :icon_ banana:

Input your destination and start navigation. Once navigation starts (voice starts talking), push menu, then route info. The 2nd icon from the right will give you one or more alternate routes.

Thank You! That worked. That seemed so easy too lol but I just couldn't figure it out. Thanks for your help!

My husband and I just joined the "Droid" world - Keep in mind it is hard to teach an "old" dog new tricks! We use to have VZ Navigator, which my husband used daily because it had a "traffic" section that not only told you there was traffic but told you what was causing it and how long before it cleared up. He is now very frustrated with google maps because it does not do this?? or does it? Is there an app that will take care of this for him??

Another (probably stupid) question - what is rooting and why??

Thank you for whatever help I can get.
