I'm beginning to wonder about these devices. I lent mine to Beloved Son to take on holiday in France. He went to a place on one route; it was displayed as being the fastest route and it brought him back on a totally different route. How can there be two "fastest" routes? I have had the same problem myself where the instructions are to turn off what obviously the main road for some track with grass growing up the middle of it.
It will get worse because I believe that TomTom have bought the company that provides the mapping software to a few other companies.
I bought the updated maps this year for France and the mapping was still out of date. You know, the usual thing, driving across a white area on the screen and the girly is saying "Take the third exit" "Keep straight on" etc and yet you are on a perfectly good bit of dual carriageway - LOL
And as to the farce of it going to street level names, don't make me larf! Even Microsoft Autoroute is better and that's not saying much. I had a truly B. time trying to find my way back a tyre depot in Le Pouliguen. I only had the address written down, not entered as a temporary "home" destination so that's my fault.
