Soon after CP7 was launched there were many reports, including screenshots, of being routed off motorways and immediately back on at junctions. I've not seen any comments recently - has this bug been fixed?

Nope have not heard a word on this.. I have a suspicion that it won't be for some reason. When this bug came out in CP6 they fixed it rather fast..

I would expect this to be due to some map data oddity (for some reason it thinks you cannot go under/over the junction on the motorway itself so has to route you around the block. If so then it will require a new map to fix this and I haven't heard of any new maps for CP.

I remember a similar thing in the past where you got navigated onto a motorway for 1 junction and then back again to miss a section of the junction itself where similar routing issues occured - effectively blocking the route around the junction.

i've never had this on any motorways near me so it may be an error in the mapping? does it do it on all junctions or just 1 in particular?

Yes, I found a problem with CP6 France maps...it was impossible to leave and/or enter motorways at certain junctions. This caused some crazy routing. Alk promised me an update, but it was about 8 months before some replacement CDs arrived. Some, but not all, of the problems were fixed. I lost confidence in CP after that

No sign of this on the M27 between J's 2 and 9 with my CP7. However the routing across the New Forest is pretty poor, it appears determined to route you onto the B roads despite considerable extra distance. (Even Nokia Maps was better at that...)
