TT5 and the M6

[nighthawk]

I've noticed something odd on my TT5/ipaq combo

On a recent trip down the M6 tom tom took me off the M6 and onto the M42 for a junction, it then sent me right back up the M42 and back onto the M6 where I came off!

I thought it was either me missing something or being a bit dozy, but it's now done it twice!

Anyone else had this?

Its a known problem, I have seen this a few times, nearly caught me out once at the same location, you need to be aware of where you are going and present position - independent of the sat nav, its not fool proof and at times can give you the wrong prompt - Mike

Thanks for confirming the glitch

It's hard to have an idea where your going though...thats why I got the sat nav

next time on my way down south, i'll check the route step by step before i set off

Does a similar thing when exiting M1 from the north to join the A50. First it insists on directing you down to J23A, and not J24. Then when you ignore it and come off at J24 anyway, it wants to route you back down the A50 to J23A, go round the roundabout, then come back up the A50 to rejoin exactly where you current sit.

I know that area around the M1 and A50 quite well...too many trips to donnington i think

You get around a bit on the ole' forums!

I've got TTN5 and an Ipaq 3970 (which may be on it's last legs now) and I keep getting a "cannot execute wake up TTN" type error every time I switch the thing on - even when TTN5 isn't supposed to be running - seems to be killing my battery - ever had that problem?
