Maybe the PPC has a smarter spider inside?

Perhaps some kind soul with a Go could plot a route from Usk to Coleford (fastest) to see if it gives a right turn accross the river wye instead of going futher up the A40 to a RA and back down the other side and then turn left over the Wye??

I have a new GO720 and an "old" GO710 with five maps. Here you are ...
GO720, Map Western Europe v705.1480 - Turns right off the A40. WRONG!
GO710, Map Western & Central Europe v675.1409 - Turns right. WRONG!
GO710, Map Western Europe v675.1409 - Turns right. WRONG!
GO710, Map Western Europe v660.1219 - Turns right. WRONG!
GO710, Map Western Europe v650.1047 - Goes up to the roundabout and back to turn left. RIGHT!
GO710, Map Western Europe v606.0 - Goes up to the roundabout and back to turn left. RIGHT!

So, the four most recent maps I can lay hands on all (including the two "Most Recent" which I am using right now) negotiate the Monmouth turn wrongly. The maps which are more than a year older apparently do it correctly. (I do know that junction first hand, by the way). So far as I know, all the maps are TomTom's issues of TeleAtlas maps.


Map Western Europe v675.1322 (NavTeq) Goes to the roundabout and back to turn left. RIGHT!
