Tbone,
I've got two routes from Daytona to KW programmed into the Zumo, one jumps over from I-95 to the Florida Turpike at Pampano Beach then hits Card Sound Rd. going into the Keys. Jumping over at Pampano Beach keeps you out of that mess of interstate ramps onto 595 north of Ft Lauderdale.

The second route takes you across I-595 to the Turnpike and then straight down Rt 1 into the Keys (cutting out Card Sound).

Both routes have a stop programed at the service plaza on the turnpike.

If you want them, PM me with an Email address so I can send them as an attachment, then use POI Loader to put them in.

If you let me know where you're staying I'll amend the routes to take you there. If you have been there before and know your way around and can find your destination from the Schooner's Wharf area you'll be OK with my destination.

Rebel Ryder:
I don't know if I'm a Veteran yet. I've only been going there each year since 1999 and twice yearly for the last five years. I remember when the previously mentioned "Big In's" was "Bare Bottoms" and before that it was "Rum Runners". Guy Harvey's was Big Daddy Conch and before that, Crabby Bill's. Teasers was on Truman Ave now it's on Duvall.

Yeah, you can hit the Turnpike all the way up at St. Lucie but then you're paying several more tolls to travel parallel to I-95 at the exact same speed and you have to stop every 10 miles at the toll booths.

+1 on the Card Sound and Alabama Jacks, I don't remember what all roads we took but here is a general overview of my trip last week. https://www.hdforums.com/m_2982056/tm.htm

BTW, there's a strip club on the street level too. On the same side as the one that's upstairs and not far from it. It's in one of those off shoot/court yard type things.
