Proper Directions

I have just bought a Magellan RoadMate 300R from Tucson, AZ. When I enter directions to an address in Phoenix, AZ., it provides me incorrect directions to the freeway. I am 20 miles on a direct routed to the freeway, but instead it informs me to take side streets.

Also, if you want to save your own directions to a certin location, can you?

Any suggestions to correct this problem.

Does anyone have an answer for JCO?

Proper Directions

I experience the same. What I've done is request a detour. This will give the "alternate" route. Sometimes I'll have to request more than once.

What I found about my Garmin was that there was two ways to configure it, the shortest route or the fastest route to take, I am sure the Magellan is similar in that respect

My NuVI 660 does the same thing. I have contacted Garmin but still have yet to hear from them.

I want to have waypoints like I do with my Garmin in the plane I fly.
