Thanks! Good info to know. It’s also why I prefer “Up Ahead” showing versus the turns list. I like the quick ability to see what’s coming up. I do understand where the turns list is useful as well, especially in places where you may have to make several quick turns. I like seeing all of the gas stations listed along the route. Makes it easy to locate a favorite gas station brand. Some gas stations have good eats 😅. I’m guessing there might be a way to specifically show only your favorite brand gas stations along the route. Let’s use grocery stores as an example…how would you show all Publix stations along the route?

I believe the search field at 3:32 when the gas station list is displayed will allow to search for your preferred store. Publix stores (or any other store name) would most likely be available from an Up Ahead "Custom Search", although I'm not certain how well that would work on long trips. Edit: Yes, an Up Ahead Custom Search works. Tried it using the 2497 on a very long test route from TX to FL and it did find the nearest Publix on route. It was over 400 miles away but it found it. imgur.com/a/79r5uJv

Thank you for outlining the main steps of the process. I followed the same steps on the 86 (slightly different interface but same functionality though) and found that although I can add gas stations along my hypothetical 350-mile route, there appears to be a limit on the number of stations the software can actually display. In fact, it shows 50 stations - (and it seems that this is the max number allowed per search) and they are all clustered near the starting point (I wish the software could spread out 54 Gas Stations results over the 350 miles route highlighting for example only major Gas Station/Or better Service Areas which would be way more than enough to choose from). The area where the route starts is densely populated, with hundreds of gas stations within a few miles. Some locations listed by Garmin as gas stations are actually not, and they are not very close to the route anyway. I have tried other ways to add gas stations along the route but the options are either at the beginning or to the end (nothing in between). My main objective is to be able to create long routes and add Gas Stations or Service Areas stops ahead of time and before beginning the trip. I may need to experiment with customized categories, something you have covered in an excellent video-to define a list of gas stations and service areas along the route and apply it to the active route (not sure if it is possible). I will share my findings.
