Just looking
Have an Aguri sat nav and options when route planning include avoiding toll roads, avoiding motorways (Why?), quickest route etc.
Doesn't have low emission zones avoidance.
Was trying to get through Bradford today on our way to Pontefract and couldn't avoid low emission zones.
Checked on gov.co.uk later and it turns out my 16 plate Ducato doesn't get charged.
Must be euro compliant.
Anyway, just out of interest.
Are there any sat navs which do have that option?
 
My Garmin 895 does.

P.S " ....avoiding motorways (Why?), ...." Because of toll roads. They are relatively rare in the UK but you do have the M6 Toll section and the M4 bridges into Wales etc, etc. Most French motorways are toll roads and many of us wish to avoid them. (I am happy to use the Belgian, Luxembourg, Dutch and German motorways which are toll free.)

The "avoiding toll roads" function on mine does the trick but avoiding motorways as well ?

No tolls on bridges into Wales since 2018!

Point taken but it still has a function. Motorways are boring. Even if I am doing a high speed run to make a destination I like a bit of a change. So for example I will take the N40 along the Franco-Belgian Border south of Charleroi rather than the E42/E411 when heading for Luxembourg/Moselle/Rhine then join the E411 at Wellin.

We think alike.
I hate motorway's, they are excruciatingly boring.
 
When travelling through Germany, I set our satnav to avoid m-ways.

Got fed up with high speed autobahns, and travelled on some fabulous roads.
 
Excluding motorways is useful to people who are driving a vehicle that is not allowed to use them e.g. agricultural tractor.

And in the UK certainly and likely elsewhere learner drivers. But I should add that it worries me that learners have no compulsory experience of motorways (I would like something like a Novice plate to be compulsory for those who are newly qualified drivers for say 12-24 months so we can all make allowances for them in the "cut and thrust" that is the reality of so much motorway driving).
