have been a Tom Tom user. Just purchased a 1350 LMT. How does one get an alternate route on the garmin. TomTom offers this feature but I can't seem to find out the info via searches and manual. Is it feasible and if so how to do it? thanxs in advance for responses.

Like TomTom, such function is not available in all devices. I don't know if the 1350 has this function (I think not), but you can look for a function called Detours. You can also use other options of Calculating Mode and Avoidances to get another route.
