Yes, Primo does strange things sometimes. But so does (did) iGO8, however more rare.
Primo1 did it all/most of the time. The reason why I did never use it, until Yurbuh Tuggly convinced me to try 2.0. I did not regret it. Neither did I regret using 2.4.
Well, I should take my device and set up a route I know I did have issues with. An unneeded detour, half a mile long. Instead of turning right, the gps took me to a roundabout (traffic circle), made me do a 360° and returned to take a left turn.
I can retest it with iGO8.3.5, Primo2.0 and 2.4 and a Becker Primo. But if I recall well, I did have issues on that route only with the Navteq maps I tested then. Which brings up the map quality matter again.
Can someone comment on this : We are discussing the matter of not logical routing and there is one issue in common: the route is not logical because we know it (the route). The main purpose of a gps is guide us when/where we don't know the route. The issue might be it takes us on a small detour (is that so bad? when you know better, you don't need any gps, right?) or it takes us on a route we better did not take at all (dead end street, missing bridge, .....). The latter clearly a map fault.
Also, it's a matter of settings. Which settings do you think are best?
