    How do I select an alternative route?
    Community Answer
    Google Maps should generate three different routes for you. By default, after you ask for directions, it should select the shortest of the three routes. This route will be highlighted by a thick blue line. The other routes will be highlighted in thick gray lines. Keep in mind that sometimes the routes overlap, and the blue line might cover up one or more gray lines. To switch to another of the routes, just click on the gray line.
