Since upgrading to the v6 software and maps (USA & Canada and UK & Ireland) I have noticed a lot of navigation instruction errors, the map on the screen is correct the instructions are not.

Examples:
1. Keep right, should be turn right
2. Go straight, should be turn right
3. Missing turn instruction all together

In all above the actual map on the screen is correct, the visual (at the bottom of the screen) and verbal instructions are NOT.

Just installed 6.56 software and tested one route, still the same instruction error. All other errors noted when using 6.52.

Anyone else see this?

I can give specific examples if needed.

Just to make it clear, the arrow on the navigation map and the actual map are correct, the verbal and visual (at the bottom of the screen) are NOT.

I've noticed several places where the spoken instructions have improved ("turn right" where v5 said "bear right" and "bear right" where v5 said nothing, for example).
Give us the Lat/Long numbers for some of your duff ones...

If you go down the A2 coastbound with Bluewater as your destination, as you approach the Bluewater turn-off, Jane says "Take the exit right" with an arrow pointing diagonal right, not a good idea on a dual carriageway Rolling Eyes
