    Still having issues with routing on the 520... Today's example is 2875 8th St; Biggs, CA 95917 to 1240 E Victoria St; Carson, CA 90746

    Navigo routing: 99s to I5 to 405 to exit 37b (459 miles)


    520 routing:

    Shortest: 99s to 20e to 70s to 65s to 80w to i5s to 170s to 101 to 110 to 91 to exit 8 (479 miles)

    Fastest: 99s to 20e to 70s to 99s to I5s to 170 to 101 to 110 to 91 to exit 8 (463 miles)

    Map update is a few days old, "prefer freeways" allow tollways & tunnels.

    The TND takes into account any truck restrictions. You other GPS is a car model which does not take into any truck settings such as Weight, Height, Length, nor type of road traveled on such as STAA or Non-STAA.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I have used my GPS to search on a route and go out to as much as 1400 miles to find fuel stops.

    Main screen/preferences/general/my custom POIS/manage custom POIS/,, find the Custom POI and click on the "X".

    thanks,

    Navigo is a truck gps built into the qualcomm (works fine, except it freezes at least once a week). And there are 0 truck restrictions on I5, 99, or 405. Regardless, none of the above explains why TND 520's "shortest" routing often has 5% more miles than "fastest."

    try changing the setting from 53 ft to 48 or 45 feet for length.

    If you are showing, let's say 3 Custom POI's and you want to delete the 2nd one. Click on the "X" on the second one to delete.

    Thanks,
    Mark
