Return Trip

 

Why Is it that if your gps takes you from Point A To Point B the fastest route then why when you want to return from Point B to Point A why does it want to route you a whole different way (So Then why wouldn't it take you back the same way you come if that is the fastest way)

There has been comments made

There has been comments made that some GPSs record your speeds and make adjustment based on your speeds so case in point... Below is an example to explain so the numbers have been exaggerated:

point A to point B via Interstate100 was calculated for 55 miles/hr but you went 10 miles/hr hour due to traffic. As a result your return trip might calculate a single route parallel on statehighway10 which was recorded as 45 miles/hr.

I think reseting user data will clear any previous trip data from the GPS calculations.

Should investigate

When the situation occurs, the user should help by providing additional information, particularly when it is an often traveled path. My suggestion is to report the difference in estimated time. I have found that when this occurs there is perhaps a one minute difference in the trip. Then, depending upon the car position, it might be a toss up as to which route is the best (set on shortest time).

I think we would all be interested in other users experiences.
