U-Turns

[witchnut]

Anyone experienced TTM5 giving an inappropriate voice command to execute a U-Turn while the screen shows a perfectly correct (non U-turn) navigation of the location?

I think I've narrowed it down to locations where there are double roundabouts and the one nearest to me is the roundabout(s) at the A12/A130 junction at Howe Green in Essex, I have also experienced it in the Mountbatten area of Plymouth. Because the route displays correctly I suspect the software is incorrectly interpreting the map data, rather than this being a map data problem.

Apologies if this has been raised previously and discussed to death but I couldn't find it.

This is a normal, often reported phenomenen, that this program exhibits. It very quickly refinds the position, if I remember correctly.
It is still better than Route 66 that tried to turn me right up a very busy one way street against the traffic. Lost a bit of confidence in the program from that moment on!
Although it has a few problems, I still keep returning to it after trying to use the competition ie. Co-pilot, Route 66 etc. Even though Jane gets very hormonal!

How can we be sure that it is an accepted problem? one that will be on Tom-Tom bug-fix list

Also, i's actually TeleAtlas that does the maps for TomTom, so you might want to contact them. From what I've read, they prepare updates every 90 days or so.
