8O any one else noticed this if your traveling south past m6 j4a it will tell you to turn on to the m42 south then re join m6 via toll road problem is you cant join on to the toll road bit which takes you back onto the m6 south Confused

you will have to go to jn 6 m42 then all the way back to the m6 doh cost me lots of time and fuel especialy when your driving a 580 scania :x :x if you are passing see what yours says like to know sorry for the moan i feel better now Laughing

I don't know if this is what happened in your case, but effects like this can often happen in itinerary planning if you insert a waypoint with the map set to too small a scale. The chosen waypoint can be in the opposite carriageway and send you on a mini detour. I have done it myself and not spotted it until I enlarged the scale to check a route before setting off

Hi Adamf. My TT3 and now TT5 have always tried to send me onto the M42 as you described. I have always ignored it but have been tempted on many occasions. Having read your note I won’t bother.
