I'd like someone with a 765t (or any other 7x5t I think) and the new maps to see what route appears for me.

The route is Southampton (SO17) to Rhoose (CF62)

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=southampton+to+rhoose&sll=50.924376,-1.402214&sspn=0.009739,0.027874&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=9

Google 'correctly' show the most logical route. Up to the M4 then motorway all the way.

My Garmin shows this

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=southampton&daddr=51.336618,-2.311249+to:rhoose&hl=en&geocode=FYa_CAMdnpbq_ykJKRW-V4lzSDHwcdpMalqMpw%3B%3BFa4fEAMdyNHM_ykheNetLAluSDE5h38MSwRgQg&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=10&via=1&sll=51.261915,-2.16156&sspn=0.618735,1.783905&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=10

This goes through Salisbury town centre (as it does for going to cornwall) and means that every route that I do I have to create in MapSource manually with a load of waypoints. (Strangely mapsource ALWAYS displays the correct logical route)

I was hoping that someone with the new maps could see if this improves the routes, otherwise it's throwing good money after bad.

Hi,

I have just tried it using a 765t with latest maps and it goes up the M3 to the M4 and then west to Wales.

The unit is set to fastest route.
