No Route Found

[Boomer]

I have had this 2 months ago on a TT530. It started when I was trying to navigate to a POI, however I was getting the 'No route found' when I tried to navigate to any address was still getting same message, even trying my home address. At the time my car was not moving, but was on a road that the device did know about.

I was on Holiday, and had my old TT One with me (tell's you somthing about reliability if you have to carry 2 sat navs!), I switched to the old TT One, and got moving again.

I tried the TT530 later in the day, and it was working again, so presume a different location resolved it. I also noticed a new version of software came out after this, so presume it's been fixed in that version. It was definitly a bug and not user error.

I'd love to be able to say that the original One never suffers from this (so that loads of people go on eBay to buy one as a back-up so pushing up the price I'd get if I sold mine ) but I can't .

On a recent vacation, yes, you guessed it, I got the 'No Route Found' screen. This was whilst stationary at traffic lights on a previously programmed route, when I attempted to navigate to a new, well known destination. It doesn't half raise the blood pressure when it happens, I can tell ya In the end I turned the unit off and back on again and it worked correctly after that.

I don't believe it's to do with Mapshare as the unit would just use an alternative route if it found a blocked road, unless the road blocked was the one you're currently on. However as I got the error whilst I was on a road that was already routed this rules this theory out. It does seem related to your current location as when you plan a new route it does appear to be successfully working it out (as seen by the progress indicator doing its thing), but it then baulks right at the very end. I'm sure I read somewhere that the planning is done in reverse, from destination to current location, so lending credence to this theory. I reckon that on every blue moon day the data for your start position somehow gets cleared/corrupted and that after that it can't fully work out any more routes. A power cycle gets the whole shebang working again.

Anyway, that's my take on it.
