Hi, I have had my iCN630 for 18 months now, using it mainly in Australia, where it has worked flawlessly. Recently updated it to SP1 V3, and are currently travelling in the UK. I purchased the Single Region maps from the online shop, and installed them.

They do not seem to work in London, eg. entering a street address in SE1 took me across the London Bridge to the West Side of London.. finally had to retrace my steps manually, while 'Bitching Betty' tried to guide me along the ring road in the opposite direction.

Encounted similar experiences in trying to navigate to other locations...

HELP! Big Time, am here for a month on a driving holiday.

You don't really give enough info for a diagnosis. There are lots of streets in london with the same name. Are you sure it wasn't an entry error?

If you show the destination you selected, is it the right one?

If so, if you zoom out and look at the route, is it reasonable?

I find that around London, the routing is much better if set one notch away from quickest towards shortest.

Hi, thanks for the reply...

Yes, I put in the address correctly, Part of the Postcode, Street Name and Address.

The address was 25 Tooley St SE1 2 in London Bridge (Had to put in London as the London Bridge was not an option)

I knew something was wrong when we ended up in Islington N51

The in car unit which was a Toyota, was then programmed with the same address.... the Navman said to Turn Right, the Toyota said to Turn Left.

We went Left, and ended up at our original planned destination. No idea why.
