so,,, first road trip all done.
>>>just maybe not the smartest way...
very polite turn of phrase. <g>
I found it very helpful valuable in navigating the local area(s), but the algorithms for "Shortest" or "Fastest" routing on the city/state-to-city/state level lack ,,,uhmmmm,,,errrrr,,,,, are lacking.
set for fastest route, on the way home - meaning I knew exactly what route is "best" - it suddenly wanted me to get off the interstate and go Route <cow path studded with malls> at that point my arrival time was hh:48. as I continued to ignore it's suggestions, every recalculation resulted in a sooner arrival time. eventually I got it down to hh:13 following my own common sense.
somewhat amusing to have a system set for fastest route, and after passing suggested Exit X, it says take (next) Exit Y and the arrival time improves by 6 minutes... like why not suggest Exit Y so start with....
so, what's the solution? is there software to created your own route on the pc and download "and this is how I want to get there" to the gps unit?
