GPS pet peave

Are you talking about turns off the ramps? or where the Freeway has a choice to either stay to the right or go to the left and split off? Most GPS will show this as a Junction View.

If the latter... the GPS does not have a camera to see what you see. It knows the Freeway is going to split and is informing you of this.

I see this a lot when you have a "Y" ahead of you.

For the same reason my routes me down a ramp, then back up the other side...when I set to shortest route LOL

 

i love my gps--but if i followed its every direction i would
a---be very lost
b---be driving a convertable truck and trailer

 

If it is with the TND, then yes I would love to know. If with the Cobra, then let Brian know on the Cobra thread.

But, yes a "Y" exit will tigger an annoucement.

But, again, in the map database how do they have that road tagged? that would take some details and then we can see how it is entered into the mapping database.

As for exits, all roads are build as segments into the mapping database and based upon that are given a "cost Factor" so to speak. The ramp may have a lower cost factor in the mapping database, so being a computer and following the program it routes that way.

If you are going around a curve it may have you get off a ramp and then back on. That is shortest and fastest to a computer, but the code is written to work around that. If you find the TND doing that, then let me know the information and we can verify the mapping database and how it is set up.

Why does one need to have the sound on ?
Flippen wench drives me nuts with all that gum-flapping.

 

ah, a man after my own heart. .. but, the TND does have a male voice on this version release...much easier on the nerves..

Thanks,

I don't know what you are talking about!






"Recalculating...."







One of my cow orkers has a thing for the gal with the british accent.

I know TMI....

 

TND next version you can set to manual for re-calculations.

Thanks,
