On a journey from Beverley (East Riding of Yorkshire) to Aylesbury (Bucks) yesterday I found a couple of anomalies. I had to reroute to avoid the M1 (J19-21 closed), so turned off the M1 at the A42 and headed down towards Birmingham. Several times in the first few miles on this route it tried to tell me to turn right onto roads that could only be accessed by going left down a slip road (dual carriageway), or to turn right on to roads which crossed over or under but did not join the A42.
I also turned off at the A41 to Bicester rather than follwing the current route to the A418 and was advised whilst on Boundary Way (Bicester) to take the 4th exit on the roundabout up ahead - this would have taken me into the Army Depot. Luckily I know my way around these roads, so I stayed on the A41 straight back to Aylesbury.

A map error I noticed recently where INS occasionally tries to tell me to
turn right down a road that is no right turn!
Going north of the river over Tower Bridge, it then says you can turn
right into East Smithfield, but you're not allowed to do that, you have
to go around the one way system.
As far as I know, it's been like that for at least 2 years... |

On A2990 leaving Whitstable towards London, INS routes correctly over roundabouts onto A299. On return journey, INS misses the sliproad off A299 and simply directs you left at roundabout at end of sliproad. |

In Blackburn Lancashire, Infirmary Road is identified as Infimary Road. Once you know this it works OK! |
