I'd agree. Although I see many drivers taking such actions to avoid red lights, or indeed queues at them Wink

I know I prefer my Garmin because of the third party cameras but TT do have vehicles about.

But, by the sound of it they need to be charting minor roads, not the western section of the M25 as captured by me on Saturday at 10:31, exact location :

N51° 17' 2" W0° 16' 2" :

I wonder if that's simply capturing junction views etc?

I've been in Scotland for the last ten days or so, driving between Crieff and Stirling several times.

Every time the Garmin routing indicates the minor road between Muthill and Braco instead of the A822. There are signs when entering this minor road saying "not suitable for HGV" and "Passing places". I did travel it once (when in the area for the first time) and sure enough, the signs were correct! And far from being some 2 minutes quicker it was at least 5 minutes slower.

I tried Google Maps on my phone and I was directed along the A822.

Garmin need to up their game.

Why can't a company the size of Garmin up their game.

They must have had 100's of complaints.

I wonder what the Garmin truck SatNav's do ?

Difficult to lay the blame with Here maps for this one.
Here have the minor road tagged with an average speed of <40mph and the major road tagged with an average speed of <64mph (in both cases there is a short section within the village tagged as <30mph).
The major road is 4.7 miles long. I recon that to be 4.4 minutes at 64mph.
The minor road is 3.4 miles long. I recon that to be 5.1 minutes at 40mph.
So the time to travel should be lower for the major road than it is for the minor road.
It doesn't seem logical for the Garmin to pick the minor road.

PP algorithm. That's what's wrong.

No it's not. I've just plugged that route into BaseCamp and then sent it to my device. Both take the A832. I even recalculated on my DS50 to be sure. So something isn't right with the OPs device, either a routing or avoidance setting or a map update requiring a master reset.

I was able to force it along the minor road by selecting shortest route, which is what I'd expect.

I was talking generally rather than specifically. Why do you keep defending Garmin's less that optimum routeing algorithm?
