So, yeah, I can ultimately get there, but my point was that I wished it would do that automatically. It knows I want to get home and that my "preferred" route could give me the option of taking a HOT lane or not. It would be cool and handy if it could show the time savings and the estimated high occupancy toll at that particular time.
My complaint with the HOT lanes is that I'll travel from Leesburg or the Dulles area, so I want it to route me on those toll roads (Greenway, grrrrrr), but not the 495 HOT lanes - no option to select part toll, part non-toll...
I'm learning how to work around it, but am often trying to decide I-66 inside the Beltway, the GW Parkway or 495/395 in (I'm in that area on 395 where all 3 are viable options...), but don't want to pay the $9 that pops up on the sign for the HOT lanes (and this is a Saturday or Sunday afternoon...).
