    I find whenever I exit for a truck stop it always doubles back. When I come back out the truck stop it routes me opposite of the way I want to go, takes me to the next exit then turns me around. It does this every time.

    Our TND 500 does the same thind as Allan50h's. I can not give you an example right at this minute because we are sittying in a motel in Springdale,Ar. But....it does it almost every time you get off an exit of the interstate. Just my 2 cents.....:biggrin_25526:

    I know that the TND 500 FREAKS out about the pilot on exit 29 off I-95 in GA. Its like it does not know that you can turn left into the parking lot. I tries to send you up 10 miles to the next exit. then send you south on spur 25. fallowed by south on hwy 17. to turn right into the parking lot. if heading south it does the same thing. I live off this exit so i just laugh at it but still anyone who didn't know better would be screwed. But this left hand turn is not new its been their for atleast the 12 years that i have lived here. :O

    "Mine just routed me off into the neighborhood in Ft Scott, KS to get to a place that was right on the main route through town. It routed me up 3rd street, which has a low bridge on it, which is also marked higher than it really is. Now I need a set of stacks"

    Database was missing this low clearance... It has been updated in the mapping database for the next release.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    And if you add that feature (another annoying popup) please add a DISABLE button! I know when I'm in or about to enter construction and don't need a machine to tell me.:biggrin_25521:

    The really annoying thing was that the bridge had two signs, one at 11'6" and the one on the bridge said 11'8". I can clear an 11'7" without my antennae touching and they're higher than the stacks by a good 3-4 inches. That thing is 11'3" at most.

    Make sure they clear the restriction that caused it. Clark street is not restricted on the east side of the highway. Everything around it is, but there's several businesses on clark that have trucks in and out all the time. Some idiot extended the restriction all the way across the highway there.
