 |
|
I’m feeling brave today so here is another question. Once upon a time there was a short lane to a scrap yard near us from a roundabout and even Autoroute 2007 managed not to include it. It is at Latitude = 51.3381 Longitude = -2.9562, if anyone interested, called Old Junction Rd. The lane is now overgrown and not used
So, if I block a road on a roundabout, - I don’t know how to do it yet - will it be discounted as an exit? Will my unit tell me to take the second exit instead of the third? I wonder!

Yes, that is exactly what it will do. Go into maps corrections, correct a map error, (un)block street. Select your road and block it in both directions. Then when you go around the roundabout the tomtom will completely ignore the exit that you have blocked.
Edit: Sorry Darren, same answer a lot more words.

You could try planning a route past that roundabout, then:
View route (main menu, page 3)
Show route demo
and without leaving the comfort of home, you should be able to see the results of your road blocking
