Shortest Route instead of Fastest Route
Mon Jun 08, 2015 10:30 am
Hi
I have had my XL Iq Routes Edition now for about 5 or 6 years.
I recently had the TomTom plan a route from Noosa (Qld) to CoffsHarbour (NSW) whiich is around 530km.
I asked for "Fastest Route" but after arriving it was obvious I got "Shortest Route".
I ignored the TomTom on the way home, taking what I thought was the fastest route. It took TWO HOURS less!!!!!!
A check on the internet proved that TomTom had indeed picked the shortest route (by a couple of kms), but the route forced me to spend many hours winding through country hills.
Since this trip, I have confirmed that the TomTom picks the "Shortest Route" when I select "Fastest Route". The Tom Tom also uses "Shortest Route" when I select "Shortest Route".
I am currently on Navcore v 9.510 (factory install).
Details :-
Device : XXXXX XXXXX
App 9.5.10.1234792.2 OS842337 (2039, 4/4/2013)
Map : Australia v915.5074
GPS v1.20, Boot 5.5277
Navigation v9.510
What can I do to solve this?
For long trips, this makes the TomTom useless!!!!
