I have only had TTN6 on my Treo 650 a few weeks now. I have been "testing" routing mainly using locations I am fairly familiar with (this is in USA). I have found TT sometimes gives really bizarre routing--wants me to really go out of the way. I can find no reason for this in route pref--have it set to "always fastest". Sometimes obviousl routes are missed, like a major highway going nearly direct to my destination and TT wants me to backtrack through much worse roads which is not only slower, but considerably longer, too. I am wondering what confidence others have in TTN 6 navigating in an unfamiliar area. I am concerned to try this, as I might get totally screwed up. TT does a great job of creating a new route in a few seconds when it realizes I have ignored its route and gone my own way. I then seems to pick up the "better" route--the one I would have picked for myself. I will not always be in the position of knowing more than TT, though (of course-that's why I bought it). Just wondering what others experience is in routing with TT. Thanks.
