Noticed recently, that when you have the map set to one region and route to another, that the route in some sense does not change although the software recalculates.



This is worth knowing about if you are unwary.



Coming from the midlands to the south, down the M1. Obviously, I wasn't interested so much in the area I know so had selected the midlands map on the way up and left it there when returning so I could navigate back out from the small village I was visiting rahter than getting no info about the roads until I was back on a motorway.



The "bug" is that wherever the route crossed from your start map to the "main roads" map, is retained when the route is recalculated. This means you are being recommended to do a U turn and go maybe 30 miles back up the M1 in order to get to a place 20 miles from where you are. Which is hardly "shortest distance" navigating.



Basically, you only get good route recalculations when the target is on your current map.
