    Also Going t from the T/A in Morris IL to 1703 Voorhees St. in Danville IL it wanted me to get off at the 210 exit. Not the 220 which is the right exit to go to Quaker Oats. Then When I got to the 4 way stop it wanted me to turn left instead of go straight ahead.

    Sitting here at the Petro in Shorter AL that address still comes up as having to turn onto US 136 (the 4 way stop) instead of going straight.

    right now we are running with 3 days in a row of misinformation. It needs to get fixed.

    I seem to have the same thing popping up all over the country.

    I ran the route to the Petro in Shorter and it looks good to me. It takes exit #22. I cannot duplicate the problem. I do not know what may have happened.

    Regarding the trip to Lithia Springs, it also looks good. The unit routes onto I-285 around Atlanta. Again I cannot duplicate the problem.

    I am using the truck settings that I previously got from you:

    3 axle tractor, 2 axle trailer
    Width = 102"
    Height = 13' 6"
    Load type = none
    Gross weight = 80,000
    Weight per axle = 12,500
    Tandem Axle = 34,000
    Tridem axle = 0
    Unladen weight = 33,230
    Total length = 72
    Extreme axle length = 58
    Trailer length = 53
    Tractor length = 0
    Kingpin to last axle = 40
    Kingpin to middle of last tandem = 37
    Kingpin to end of trailer = 45

    I am also using the latest software and database. To check your software and database please click <here>.

    Exit 220 is past the destination which is probably why the nav unit opted for exit 210. I will run it by our engineers.

    I don't understand the issue with the 4-way stop. What trip is it on, and where is the 4-way stop located?

    The 4 way stop is on the Danville trip. Exit 220 go North, There is a 4 way stop with a Marathon gas station to your right.

    I was rolling yesterday coming up US-271 in Texas leaving Paris. I was going to Walmart in Ada OK. The shorter route, avoiding toll roads came up shorter on time than the "fastest route."

    Yoyu gave a link for the 7700 pro, but what about us with the 7750 platinum?

    Going straight from the 4-way stop is a little more direct, so I will run it by our engineers.

    Regarding the travel time, yes I see that. I will give it to our engineers as well.
