Anyone else find this version to be worse than the last one on the "Road ahead" feature?
In Edmonton AB Traveling West along 23rd Ave NW from 38th St to Calgary trail the "Road ahead" is correct only 3 times. 47th; Hewes Way; and 85th... ignoring all the other intersections and from 85th for some distance there is no road ahead at all, showing only the road you are currently driving on.. ie, 23rd Ave.
All the previous maps have missed some but this last version seems worse
Have not used it yet since

nüvi 3597 - Fewer Junction Views?
Over the last week I have been testing the functionality of the new CN 2023.20 map update with my nüvi 855 & nüvi 3597 using "Simulated GPS". With the two "Large JCV" files the nüvi 855 displayed many Junction View images, but the nüvi 3597 showed fewer Junction View than I remember from actually driving the routes. My Perception is that on the nüvi 3597 more Junction Views are being replaced by Active Lane Guidance with each map release. The nüvi 3597 is using D9675010A.jcv (462,278,418 bytes).

Use my Dezl 770 everyday...
Haven't noticed any real difference that stands out
Hmmm...

Could this be a scenario of where you are geographically?

Washington DC area...Lots of freeways and in the past plenty of Junction Views. I use to work in Columbia MD and usually got 4 or 5 Junction Views driving up and 4 or five driving back, the simulation gives 1 or two each way.

While I know the area

Your discussing well, perhaps I've just not been paying attention..

Nope
Haven't noticed any issues but then I'm using a nüvi 760.
