Hi guys :D

Why does my i3 take me along the back roads sometimes when there is a more direct route i.e bypass.

cheers for any help and is there a decent manual for it Question

Make sure your i3 is set to avoid unpaved roads as well....... Exclamation

You are right, the routing can be very strange. I need to spend more time comparing my TomTom with my i3.

Last week I did a 20 mile route. I chose the quickest. The i3 had me going down some tiny country lanes - the ones with the grass growing down the middle. I checked it later with TomTom and that took me the route i would have chosen - mainly A or fast B roads.

I've also noticed that I nearly always arrive quicker than the TomTom predicted time. So far with the i3, the predicted time seems to increase.

The only thing missing on the i3 which I would really like to have is the number of miles to the destination. With TomTom its interesting to see how a route my take a minute or two longer but is 5-8 miles shorter.

Can't complain though, the i3 for £99 is a great piece of kit.

i think you've hit the nail on the head mate....the i3 costs only £99 and for that you cant expect perfection....
