When I rode my motorscooter from KC up to our new place in Michigan last fall, Google Maps wanted to put me on Interstates. I was able to click-and-drag the mapped route onto state and county roads, Google Maps then recomputed distances, times for me. I seem to recall that I had to put in extra way points to make this work smoothly . . .
