Road Closed Ahead

 

Has anyone had your Garmin announce "Road Closed Ahead. Recalculating."

The last time I used my 760 I got that announcement every few minutes. It did not change my routing and the road was not closed.

Anyone have any ideas?

Do you have the traffic

Do you have the traffic receiver active? If so it was probably getting a traffic report that the road was closed. That is the only thing I can think of offhand.

Road not closed

I had it happen on the way home on I-17 N out of Phoenix. By the time we got there it was not closed and there was no sign of anything. I think they had cleared an accident before we got there. Since we don't have the service in this part of the world, it's the only time I've seen the traffic receiver work.

If the service doesn't exist there, how could you have received an alert from it?

As I said, we were heading home from Phoenix, AZ and I-17 goes N out of there to Flagstaff on a mountain stretch which is where I got the alert. As a matter of fact, Phoenix must have pretty good traffic patterns because that is the only time I heard it go off in the 3 months we were there.

I see. You expected that everybody would know that "in this part of the world" refers to Dubuque, IA -- not the only location you mentioned in your post, Phoenix. For me to know that home wasn't a suburb of Phoenix, you would have to write it first -- then I could read it.

You made me think

Yes, I did have the traffic receiver active. However, every road I was on produced that announcement from my Nuvi. These roads, BTW, were all suburban area streets, some multi lane and others simply neighborhood streets.

Given what you said, though, I realized that Verizon is installing FIOS all over our area and they sometimes block a lane of traffic. There could have been some of that work going on that was further down the road.
