Has anyone else found a problem with the routes selected by the Sat Nav. It seems on mine that it wants to send me off at some motorway junctions only to come back down the slip road and rejoin . Looked at all my settings and they seem ok.

Any ideas?

Mine quite often tries directing me off the Mway at really stupid points quite often when travelling south down the A/M42 north of Birmingham, always ignore and sat nav picks up correct route before Ive cleared junction. Also tries it when coming home through Cheshire M6 south and Derbyshire M1 south. Always? seems to do it on home route. still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit

I have the auto avoid traffic off. Seems to happen on the M6 Toll after taking me on it earlier and sometimes in other places.

Very strange

So the sat nav is fine as long as you know where you are going......

If you turn off the TMC it may help. I think its making decisions based on the info received. Phil

I just experienced this for myself.

Was trying to take me down farm tracks and even the drives of peoples houses

try turning of the restricted roads under the route option if yours keeps wanting to take you down farm tracks

Don't forget it is can cope with the odd track or three  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

It's when you pay the toll, get to the end of the road and he's standing there with his shotgun over his arm sayin "Mornin".......

A chap I know owns the binoculars on the White Horse (a local beauty spot on a hill). He says he always leaves one not working as people put 20p in the slot find it doesn't work so put another 20p in another one  At work

Blimey get him a job in Government

I can just imagine him staggering down the track, his pockets jangling with hundreds of 20p pieces as he excitedly goes to the amusement arcade.

Your not wrong, he comes in the pub and dumps the 20p's on the bar making the landlord count them as he drinks away his ill-gotten gains  At work
