TomTom Horrible Routing
I have a Via 1505 with updated maps. I recently went on a trip to Fla. where the GPS was more harm than good. It is set to Fastest and IQ enabled. It sent me thru Jacksonville on 95 instead of 295 ...

It sent me thru Jacksonville on 95 instead of 295 to 10 which is longer and slower. At that point I shut it off. On the return trip it tried to send me thru Orlando on 4 which is 30 miles longer and over 30 minutes longer than staying on 75. Then to top it off it tried to send me off 95 in Wash. DC onto 395 that goes thru the center of town.
Are all TomToms this bad? What am I doing wrong? I talked to tech support which was a waste of time. They had me send them all sorts of directions and addresses and never answered the question.
I am very frustrated and have no trust in this unit.
I use the GPS and a mapping program to plan our trips. You can not trust either one to give you the best route all the time. That is why I plan my routes ahead of time. Sometimes I like the GPS and some times I like the mapping program. Then sometimes i don't like either one. So I look at both and map my route the way I think is best. This way I don't run into problems when towing 36ft. behind me.
If you don't mind running into problems then you trust a GPS or a mapping program.
