rns510 navigation router

[vik2001]

the flaming navigation always takes me the long way round through traffic normally and avoids clear journeys like the motorway.
is there anyway to change this?

In route options you can select the types of road you use. It may have motorways unselected.

Mine tried to add 50 miles onto an already 150 mile journey!! Hoping the upgrade to V9 maps may help with this.

As Hedge says "Route Options"

Have you got a manual?

There's also a setting somewhere that makes it offer 3 routes: fastest, shortest and most economical(?). I've got this option set so now I get 3 routes to choose from and can ignore silly route suggestions.

If I have auto routing enabled due to traffic problems it sends me miles off route. I disabled this option and despite stating traffic options have not been held up. One one occasion when it was enabled it added approximately 50 miles to my journey from North East to South coast.

Normally for a longer journeys I check the RNS route against the Iphone  - there's never been much in it!

As an aside it decided to try to take me down a bloody footpath tomorrow. The dead end sign should have been a warning really but I presumed that even this sat nav would actually keep me on roads!!
