How to Avoid Tolls With Google Maps
If you navigate with a GPS app, such as Google Maps, you get a heads up when tolls are on the planned route, and you can quickly plot out an alternative that avoids toll roads. The trip might take longer, but it could save you from sitting in traffic, in addition to the cost of the toll Here’s how Google Maps makes it simple to avoid tolls. On a desktop browser, the process is a bit different. First, input your destination, click Directions > Options > and select the box next to Tolls under the Avoid section. On the mobile app, your toll preference remains the default, but that preference displays above the map, so you can turn it off if you don’t want to avoid tolls on a particular trip. On a desktop, that preference resets when you exit navigation.
