Hi Guys
so, on my Audi A5 built in sat nav, when I want to go from my work SN7 8HN to my partners in NR18 9JP, it suggests a few routes, as does my TomTom 6000, one of which is A420, then A34, then A40 then M40, then M25, then M11, then A11 and I`m there! 181 miles!
But this bloody Garmin 3598 doesn't suggest this route ever, I cant even get it to find it... how come? I have tried changing routing options, but no it always wants to take me the shortest mileage route, even though my motorway route is more miles, its actually quicker!
how do I make it give me this route as an option, I have latest map and latest firmware on it _________________ Garmin 3598 LMT-D

I've just run those routes and while you say it's faster, have you tried the suggested route which is about 30 miles shorter?
According to the figures it also takes longer, which is no doubt why your nuvi is suggesting the route it does.
But hey, if you think/know it's faster and you know the route then go your way, your nuvi will eventually pick it up. _________________ Where there's a will ... there's a way.

Hi Mate
yeah I know its 30 miles shorter, but... by going the Motorway route in my last post, its less stopping at bloomin roundabouts and lights etc, and the duration is the same, even though it is more miles, its actually more economical
I just wanted the 3598 Garmin to give me this route as an option, but it never does, its the only sat nav that doesn't! _________________ Garmin 3598 LMT-D
