What is it with Sat Nav's??????
I've had the Volvo one, now the Garmin. Is it me or is there something in the Aston spec that says "must try to get the driver to go down the narrowest farm fkin track, even if there is an easier route."?
The Garmin is a nice improvement, fast, good graphics. Lots of improvements, but why in the name of a sheeps hairy assed winnet do these things try and get you head to head with a welsh tractor on a narrow road at every opportunity?

Or is it just Welsh roads?

silly

Are you sure it's not set to take you the shortest route rather than the fastest which should keep you on the main roads?
LOL. Yup, very sure!
I suppose all nav's have weirdness. It's just more annoying in these cars when it sends you up a road that you know you'll end up reversing back down when you're head to head with a tractor. The other day I was out in my snotter and it tried to take me off the motorway onto the roundabout and straight back on it again!! How is coming off a motorway and back on faster??? smile

Suck it up and move on.
