Toll road's iphone google maps

[Reignz]

How can I disable it from taking toll roads? I live in Toronto and it always suggests to take a very expensive toll road the 407.

How can I disable this?

I never noticed that before. I know on the web, you can drag the route to change it, but that doesn't seem to be a feature in the mobile versions (I just checked on Android too).

I know this isn't what you're asking, but I find the 407 is so much less stressful to drive on than any other major highway in the area, so it isn't a bad option.

[Reignz]

Yes but it cost tons of money to use the 407 Hence..... Toll road.

Can anyone chime in?

[Nuclearjack]

Im reasonably sure that you can not.

might have to look into buying a GPS app. Think of the money it will save you in tolls

[Reignz]

I'm sure there is a hack of some sort..

No, the current Google Maps app does not support route preferences. Maybe one of the third party navigation apps (TomTom, Navigon, etc.) does.

On a similar note, I don't mind it suggesting tollways where it makes sense, but it would be nice if they used a different color to differentiate them in the maps.

Looks like Google has Failed me..

It told me to turn the wrong way down a one way street today. Go Google! All jokes aside, I would love route preferences within the Google Maps mobile app. I still love Google Maps in general though.

TomTom definitely supports toll road preferences. I would assume that other similar apps do too. You could always make a suggestion to Google about this. It's a reasonable request that I'm sure many people have (anything other than the 407 and I would want an alternative too).

You are not bound to follow the calculated route. If you see that an undesirable route is being selected, cancel the route and follow a parallel route. Restart the route calculation when you are beyond a point where the undesirable road is chosen.

Let's hope you are familiar with where you are driving!
