2nd one - you are in compare routes. The logic is different for each thought process of picking a route. One will be a more direct and the other a "work around".
Thanks,

Sheesh, how stupid do you think I am?
Also, the 720 refuses to route across the bridge to the Love's (or back across the bridge to the southbound lane) in Tonkawa, OK. I was routed 8 miles south of the truck stop and expected to U-turn and drive back north to exit for Love's, then when I left in the morning, I ###### near followed the 720's directions to go north until I realized I'm heading to Texas. As soon as I hit the bridge, the route corrected itself. -

This is on the latest maps.
Shortest/Prefer Freeways.
Shortest/Allow
Fastest/Prefer
Fastest/Allow
So based upon your settings is how the router will determine the route.
Loves - seems a false restriction was in place. This is the latest maps - not published yet.
A trick I use is this. IF the routing is odd, then change to car mode. If it routes correctly then it is a truck restriction that is there or in error. If in car mode it still routes incorrectly then it is the maps. Either case let me know so it can be corrected.

Hi Mark I have a RM 520 and am subscribed to traffic everywhere. This morning it keeps telling me the server is unavailable. It says this when I enable weather also. It has always worked great up until now. Also my internet source is working fine. Any ideas?
-
FYI - I just got this from RM -
Traffic and Weather servers are down. No ETA yet on when they will be up and running. I will keep posted.
UPDATE - servers are back up and running again.
Thanks,

Dieselboss and mattbnr Thank this. -
Here's another issue they really need to fix. I drive from New York state to Henderson nv quite often. It's a heavy load, so rather than going through Denver and the rockies, then utah, I prefer to take the southern route through Oklahoma City and Amarillo. I use compare two routes, it offers the route I want as the secondary choice (it's about 60 miles longer), and off I go, no problem. Until... occasionally my 12V plug will wiggle out and I don't catch it in time, and the unit powers off. Turn it back on, it recalculates, and if it happens before Erie, it will send me through Denver. Now I have to reset my trip, let it calculate both routes again, etc. Instead of just looking at the last destination, it needs to look at the last route.
Also, is it really necessary to have to accept the legal warning every time we turn the thing on?mattbnr Thanks this. -
or mine doesnt -
It comes loss at the cigarette plug, not the unit
