does it offer alternative routes and routes without tolls

Yes. Under SETTINGS on the Main Menu, there is a NAVIGATION selection that allows you to set route preferences. From there, you can select AVOIDANCES which includes: U-Turns, Highways, Tolls and Fees, Traffic, Ferries, Carpool Lanes, and Unpaved Roads.

I honestly don't know. I live in California where we don't have toll roads. I've used it in Oregon and Hawaii and they don't have toll roads either.

I don't know, but regardless, it is far inferior to Google maps. Streets and trips is a complete waste of money.

Yes it has those options including the 'NO Toll Road' option. I really liked the mini 'speed limit' sign on the screen. Traveling on new roads or interstate hwys where spd limit is constantly changing... the screen shows you the limit.

You will have the option of choosing several types of routes. You can set it up the way that is best for you.

I do not know. I have not slected feature. It is not a normal Route Setting. Call Magellan Customer Service and ask

Yes. There are multiple ways to do this, but one good way is to set up an account at RideWithGPS, use their web interface to draw the route, and download the route into your device.

Yes, you can select fastest time, shortest distance, most use of freeway, least use of freeway & avoid toll roads.Before buying, I went to Magellan's site & downloaded the user manual for the model (I usually do this as part of my decision process); that helped me to decide.

Yes, when you enter your destination there will be 2 options on the top right of the screen. If you choose the most right of these 2 options "Multiple routes" what ever routes available will appear on the top of the screen. Tap on each of those options to see the route available. Joe

It has navigation on it but it doesn't work well at all. It's ok with mapping your starting point to destination but it fails at updating the step by step directions real-time. It lags way behind which is very frustrating. It also loses reception very easily and will sometimes recalculate when this happens.

Yes. But, you would have to enter a city on the alternate route. You can enter multiple stops.

Yes. Very detailed. And does turn by turn with audible prompts. Another neat feature is round trip generation, tell it how far you want to ride and it comes up with 2 or 3 possible routes for you

You do not pay for anything, everything is included. My unit will tell me traffic update while driving. If traffic is heavy, TomTom Via 1605 will ask if you want to take alternate route. It will also tell you how many minutes the traffic is. For instance, 2-3, or 5 minutes. And finally calculate the fastest route for you. The unit is very good and simple, period.

If you are asking, "can I set specific roads to take?", I haven't found a way to do that. You can set the type of route, ie. shortest, fastest...

Yes it does. It has 4 choices! Fastest Way, Shortest Way, Most Freeways and Least Freeways. It is AWESOME!

No, it doesn't. It does provide traffic information about traffic jams and such, but again, only in certain areas. Not in mine for instance (Charleston SC)
209232
No. But Since it is navibridge capable, you should be able to just select a destination using your smartphone

It does have traffic updates, but in certain cities. Unfortunately traffic does not work in the City I live in. So that feature is useless to me.
