...and me too for listening to the damned thing.
Took a trip down to visit friends the weekend. Evesham to Christchurch area. On the M3 near Eastleigh and as usual, it's a bit busy. Nav says recalculating due to traffic and tells me to get off and head for Eastleigh. OK, I'll bite. I turn off and it then tells me to get back on the road I just came off. Grrr.
Back on track, M27 now, again it sas re-route down M271. OK, once again, I'll bite. Seems OK, takes me onto the Totton bypass then once again, re-route for traffic, turn left now towards Totton.....them immediately tells me to get back on the bypass it just took me off.
Return journey, M3 again, re-route again, tells me to take a left toward Winchester. Suspicious by now I dither but finally do and it bids as it really is pretty snarled up....only for the bloody thing to put me back on the M3 going the other way. Having realised just how stupid I've been, I do the 6 mile U turn it has sent me on and rejoin the M3. And yes, once more it tried to get me to do the same thing again as I reach the same junction. That time it got sworn at and ignored.
Yes, I know, I shouldn't trust it and have more awareness of where I'm going, but seriously, 3 totally bogus directions on one trip?
In future, i'm going back to how I always used to drive - know where I'm going and pay attention to where I am rather than driving on autopilot.
I had the maps updated recently but can't imagine they updated the software as well, although it's possible. It does still treat large roundabouts like a series of left turns though, which is rubbish.
So, is it just me, or is the satnav in a 2016 C with Premium Plus & COMAND really this shite??
