    Coming up north on US 1 in Delaware, just before I95 the road is not where the GPS says it is because of the construction. I had a route that had me going through Baltimore to get to Columbus OH. when the GPS synced up with the road just before I95 it recalculated and gave a route towards Philly to catch I76. Those kind of recalculations make me nervous.

    Ah, then turning off auto recalc would be good in this case for you...

    Thanks,

    Is there an option that gives a verbal cue that the unit is recalculating? There have been a couple times where road construction has caused the unit to get confused, and without being aware that it has recalculated the route, I've glanced up and been startled to see a whole new route and turn instructions. That's a bit of a shocker the first few times. The Navigo always blurts out "Out of route!" and I know something's up.

    Here's a possible POI correction/update: On I-75 near Monroe, MI, the two Pilot locations are mixed up. The more southern of the two is actually the Exit 15 store, while the one 3 miles above it is on Exit 18. I am here, and I also confirmed this with Pilot's store location app.

    cheers!

    RM used to have that, many did not like it. So, it was taken out.

    You could switch to manual recalculation.

    Here is a routing issue that imo, is bad routing, and not sure why it chooses the path it does.

    Coming into Tulsa ok, on I44 east from Oklahoma City, I added a stop at the flying j. It wanted me to take 244 through downtown Tulsa to get there vs staying on 44 which is actually 2 miles shorter, plus a straighter route. At peak traffic times, it would be worse.

    I know I know, nitpicky...

    I would never say "nitpicky", who better to see the road that you the user. Even if it shows corrected on the next set of maps, it may very well be an issue on the next set of maps.

    Not knowing what model or date of your maps on your unit - I would venture that it is either a incorrect restriction or map issue.

    This is with the latest maps (not released yet).

    Instead of a general term, why not list the ones you find. It may take a little time on my end to verify, but then we will know if it is still an issue or not.

    Thanks,
