Ok , i just got back from middlesbrough { i live in doncaster} and on the way back while on the A1, all was going well as i had the satnav set to stop navigation{ as i knew where i was going }, I got to about junction 29 and the I3 started recalculating as it showed me in the middle of a field until i got to about junction 32, were it showed me back on the road as it should.
I know they re-directed the A1 or moved it {acording to the satnav} about 200 yard to the left of were it used to be { could just see the red line/road just off to the right ov the screen}.
Anyone else been down the section of the A1 and noticed the same thing or is it just my I3 on the pi$$? |

Hi jagg7,
Yes I have had the same experience as you but only when my i3 was set to navigate.
I think it must be due to the re-routing of the A1 which which is not reflected in the i3 map source.
However as far as I know you should not receive any voice alerts, including recalculations when you have stopped navigating and returned to "view map" mode.
Regards,
Robert Swanson
