Routing issues

Excellent review thank you. Its good to see the side by side comparison.

I can not see why people should be so upset to see that they have taken away the speed indicator. After all they do have a perfectly good spedo in the car and they should be concentrating on their driving anyway!

My major concern with this new product is the lack of an option to choose what roads you prefer. I often tow a caravan and have purchased sat nav to make these journeys easier and safer by not having to look at directions on the move. The last thing I need is for the software to automatically route me down a narrow road when a perfectly good alternative is available!

Its not to major when you are planning a journey using waypoints etc, but if you are using the traffic option and select a detour you have no control over where the system decides to take you.

I have purchased Copilot 5 which has a RV mode and works very well but this product is not as good as TomTom for routing voice instructions and the display image, and does not have the traffic option available yet.

A mixture of both products would be the best solution.

hi mark
if you change the speed settings in tt3 then it will change the way you are routed as minor roads would be avoided if you lowered the speeds for this type of road

That sounds like a plan, I will give it a go.

Many thanks.
