Is it my imagination or has TT6 dumped mini-roundabouts?
I seem to remember they used to be on TT5 but I've not found any on the latest incarnation.
Perhaps I'm mis-remembering. Can anyone who's not yet upgraded confirm that mini-roundabouts appear on TT5

Mini-Roundabouts don't appear on my Maps, in this area. Theyt are treated as Road Junctions only.

No mini roundabouts on my TTN5.
Maybe it's because most people seem to drive straight over them. :P

Thanks for the responses; I guess I must have dreamt it, or could it be premature senile decay?

Can't be that or I would have no chance. :P

Mini roundabouts seem fine for me in TTN6. Well, by that I mean all the ones that were there in TTN5 in my area are still there in TTN6.
There seems to be a nice new feature when you're going round large roundabouts too. You still, for example, get a 'go right on the roundabout, fourth exit' as you approach it, but you now also seem to get a voice warning to 'take the exit' as you approach your actual exit on the roundabout. Very handy indeed, particularly if the screen hasn't updated quickly enough to show you (and you've lost count of the number of exits, like I always do!)
I'm sure TTN5 never used to do this? |

Just wondering if anyone has tried a route on TT6 via the MAGIC ROUNDABOUT in Swindon, first time I went on it a few years ago it amazed me how many possible variations there are to get round/over it...
That would no doubt challenge the voice prompts !!!

My God, is that still there? I haven't been in Swindon in twenty years and thought they would have found a better solution by now!
Whenever I talk about it to people who've never seen it, they don't believe me!
