wrong turns

 

I was leaving my friends house and my nuvi told me to turn right, however when I looked at the highlighted route it clearly indicated a left turn. I returned later and the same thing happened again. I went home and reinstalled the latest software and now the problem seems to be fixed. Has this happened to anyone else ?

It happens sometimes. It's not perfect all the time. You have to use your own senses sometimes.

Wrong Start Direction.

When you start up from a STOPPED position the GPS really doesn't know which direction you are in In this case it thought you were pointing in the other direction.

Once you start moving it then correctly knows the right direction.

So just follow common sense and use the GPS as a CO-PILOT (Like My Wife) and use SELECTIVE HEARING!!

Blindfolded

Does this mean I should stop pretending I'm Al Pacino in "Scent of a Woman?" I've been driving with a blindfold just listening to the voice prompts from my Nuvi.

Wrong Turn

I've seen the both the text and audio differ from the map several times.

I think I remember that it prefers right hand turns.

If I back up into my

If I back up into my driveway with the nuvi on, it will show that I'm facing North. Backing up is West while the front of my car points East. It happens. Probably the sats not getting a good fix while it boots up.

DIRECTIONS and GPSs

Some GPSs such as the hand held units use for hiking etc. have built in electronic compassescan tell you which way your unit is pointing. The moble ones such as the NUVIs need to me moving to calculate the direction.
