I have had my TT3 for a few months and have only just really used it on a proper trip, not to the paper shop and back.
I travelled around the M25 and the traffic got too bad so i decided to use the alternative route method and avoid the M25. What i didn't realise was that it only avoided one junction of the M25, the next one i would pass and then sent me back on it. Surely if i want to avoid a whole stretch of Motorway it should let me. Is what i describe above correct or did i do something wrong or did TT3 have a funny 5 minutes.
Another thing i noticed on my trip was that the crossing of the M25 and A121 show a separate piece of A121 to the left which resulted in TT3 asking me to do a U-turn.
Very clever.
I am using a Ipaq 2210 with latest bios, TT3 v 3.03 and GPS assist (very clever tool) + PocketGPS camera database Confused

The problem with alternative routes is that there may be none available. For example you just missed the last free exit and are parking on the motorway - now calculating an alternative is useless.

Did you tell it to not use the M25, or just to avoid roadblocks for x miles?
