| I usually run a tomtom setup which shows me one way streets. However, I have been unable to find this function on Igo. Is there something in the settings which I need to change? I have only used the device in a simulated way so far, maybe these one ways will show up once I try it out for real. |

When I had iGO2006+ I noticed there was no indication on the map if there was a one way street but I never got routed down them. There will be occasions when the mapping is not updated with recent changes but I was never routed the wrong way into one. I still always check signposts, just in case of errors.

MioMap 3.2 (Igo) can be set to show one way street icons, albeit by poking around in an initiallisation file. I tried this, but soon untried it as it really clutters up the map.  I assume that Igo will do the same. Unfortunately I can't remember how to do it.  Not much use really, am I.  |

Yes you are.
I must ask the question. 'Why the need to have a one way street icon showing'?
Whether it's there or not the routing shouldn't take you the wrong way down one, so no neeed for one, and if the routing does try to take you the wrong way up one, then it doesn't know it's a one way street and no icon would show anyway.
Too many icons on screen only takes up processing power and can result in slow screen updates and resulting lag.
Feel free to correct me if my OAP logic is fuzzy.

Vast amount of clutter is the point that I was making, but I had forgotten to add slowing things up if there are a lot of o/w streets. the positioning of the icons is better than the Mio petrol station pois, but not much. |
