Does it work?
Just been for a week touring the Cotswolds, and apart from a few idiosyncratic oddities liveable with a £40 unit, its worked really well...
...except...
...I use the "Lorry" setting, putting in accurate dimensions - and yet, I got directed down some pretty narrow, even single track lanes which has proved 'interesting'.
Of course it could just be there are no other routes.
Does anyone "lie" to their machine about length, width & weight?
I had mine set on "Easy" route planning but I didn't think its choices were particularly 'easy', just longer & slower.
I switched to "Fast" for the return route which came up with a much more direct way (albeit via Silverstone ) and just as nice driving.
Any tips, or tweaks you use to get the best from this kit?
