That has to be my NUMBER ONE hate! Evil or Very Mad

(for some reason it seems even worse than the arrogant prats who do it in the outside lane)

Does it often do this sort of thing?

It's the only one i've noticed so far. M1 J34 Northbound

Pleased to see that you were keeping within the speed limit Paul! Smile

I've just switched to Horoizontal status bar because the speed readout is larger (good in Mainland Europe) and ALG works in both.

As for middle lane hoggers, you want to try it when you're towing a trailer and you CAN'T go in the outside lane! It would seem that the front grill of a Motorhome in their back window still doesn't reinforce the point. Maybe I'll lose the Hymer grill and get one with 'MOVE OVER' on it instead.

Hey Dennis.
Yeah but we all know that middle lane hoggers do 10mph UNDER that limit then get irritated when you undertake them to maintain momentum.

I think driving a 7.5 tonner for a day should be part of the licence. If you understand what it's like to drive something that has distinctly different characteristics to a car you soon learn to cut them some slack for stuff they previously would shake heads at.

Anyway my last comment on this one as I'm dragging this thread way off topic.

Oops! I didn't see the cock-up! Laughing Out Loud

!

I thought you were referring to the lane display pics in general — I rarely if ever see these. So few junctions have them.

Didn't realise that the lane images (full screen) and the lane guidance (in status bar) were separately configurable. Now changed on my TT. Thanks for that!

There are a lot of the full screen displays in the A34/M3/M27 corridors, but not enough to be able to depend on them, and a few that are just plain silly - normal motorway exits. But personally I find the full screen displays, at least on the latest release (post-stutter fix) can take long enough to clear that it's a hindrance. E.g. I'm wanting to see the next junction - particularly the next roundabout on the that motorway exit, or in the case of 2 lanes exiting to see which of those 2 I should best pick for the next intersection, enough to want the lane display switched off for good. The status bar will be enough info I think.

I guess it has gee-whizz factor, but I want TT to use not sell ;-)
