In fact, it'd tell me to take an exit ramp, then get right back on the same ramp. The 3-D view is the best feature of the program.
I used to have the same problem in Columbus with Streets and Trips, except Street and Trips always wanted to route me through Columbus instead of around it and when I would drag and drop the route to fix it, you had to be very careful or you?d end up with a route that would tell you to take an exit ramp, then get right back on again, or more or less the same problem you had.
The way I fixed that problem was to draw a big square right through the heart of Columbus and designate it as an area that I didn?t want to route through, then I saved it in my default map. It worked perfect. I have since used that same trick to prevent the program from routing through the cities of Atlanta, GA and Washington, DC as it always wanted to do it in those two cities also, and anytime I want to go through those cities or inside them, I simply remove the square in the working map that I happened to be working with at the time.
