Do the ferry routes work?

[RichardN]

I have tried to put in some routes to places like the Isle of Mull and Northern Ireland but the 510 keeps telling me you cannot get there by driving. I was under the impression that the routing would look at the ferry services and treat them as a viable route (I have the UK ferries maps installed).

Am I doing something wrong or is it another "special feature" of the software?

The feature certainly works on my PPC version. I set a route from Belfast to Cragnure. I was routed via ferry to Stranraer, then onto the A77/M77 to Glasgow, then the A82 to Crianlarich, then the A85 to Oban and finally the ferry to Craignure.

You have got UK ferries installed, but are they active? What about Northern Ireland? Also, do you have 'Avoid ferries' ticked in your routing options?

Oops, thanks Tim, it was the "Avoid Ferries" option ticked. I had forgotten it was even there. Now it does what I expected.

Thanks again.
