Any algorithm has to strike a compromise between speed and rigour. In the days of TomTom3 you could choose from three different options, accepting that if you wanted a really accurate calculation it w ...

Getting back to Noddy's original question. Are there many main roads between the start and destination? I don't know the area and don't know if the route you are talking about is through the country ...

How do you get the i3 to simulate the route? Is this a real time simulation?

Ah Turn GPS Off then Navigate and it'll ask if you want to simulate the journey. Nice touch.
