Next, go to the Drop down list. You will see a checkbox labeled "Avoid systems on your Avoidance List". If that checkbox is on, then your Autopilot is obeying the avoidance list. If it's off, then your autopilot is ignoring the avoidance list.

To see the list of areas you are avoiding, go to the Manage route item on the dropdown menu (A Route. top left of screen).

Jita, being a popular trade hub and so busy as to be extremely laggy, was probably added to your avoidance list automatically by CCP when you first started playing EVE Online. Let's suppose, though, that you need to make a shopping trip to Jita and that you don't normally mind going through LowSec space. (Maybe you have a fast frigate or a Tech 2 Transport Ship.) So, right-click on Jita and SET DESTINATION.

Hold on, isn't Jita on the Avoidance List? Well, yes, but that means that your Autopilot will avoid going ''through'' Jita to get to ''somewhere else''. However, since we're setting a course ''to'' Jita, the Autopilot will ignore the fact that Jita is on the Avoidance List and just go ahead and plot a course into Jita.

There's a problem, though. Your course goes through ~~Rancer~~, and your fellow Unistas are telling you that going through ~~Rancer~~ is a bad idea because it's ~~heavily gatecamped~~ by expert [[Known_pirate_systems|pirates]] and ~~that~~ you will likely lose your ship and your pod. So, you need to find another route. ~~(This isn't just an academic example, Rancer really is pirate-infested and has been for quite a long time as of the time of this writing.)~~ Right-click on ~~Rancer~~ and select AVOID SOLAR SYSTEM.

There's a problem, though. Your course goes through Sujarento, and your fellow Unistas are telling you that going through Sujarento is a bad idea because it's sometimes occupied by expert [[Known_pirate_systems|pirates]] and you will likely lose your ship and your pod. So, you need to find another route. Right-click on Sujarento and select AVOID SOLAR SYSTEM. (This example is mostly academic. Sujarento is a [[Factional Warfare]] system that can carry some dangers, however.)

With ~~Rancer~~ now on the Avoidance List, the Autopilot sets a new course for Jita which is ~~much~~ longer, but doesn't go through ~~Rancer~~. It ~~only~~ goes through ~~one~~ LowSec ~~system~~, ~~Olettiers (which~~ you should ~~exercise~~ caution in ~~anyway because it's just 2 jumps away from Rancer, so the Rancer gangs might still try to catch you in Olettiers~~.)

With Sujarento now on the Avoidance List, the Autopilot sets a new course for Jita which is longer, but doesn't go through Sujarento. It still goes through two LowSec systems, Vecamia and Ahbazon, so you should still excercise caution in those areas.
