I programmed my XL (335 or 350, not sure which) to go from Haines City FL to Lakeland FL, about a 25 mile trip, specifying shortest route. The most direct route is west on US17-92W, continuing on 92W (after 17 turns south to go through Winter Haven) to Florida Ave, then south to 4320.
The default route deviated somewhat, leaving 92 and taking several other streets and turns, eventually winding up in the right place. Was this route actually shorter than the most direct route, as stated above?
Then I explored the alternative routes, one at a time. The unit drew each route (and there were many), and they got longer and more complicated each time, even coming up with a route that was listed at more than 300 miles.
Eventually, the unit reported "no route found". I assume that meant it had exhausted its database. I clicked on DONE and the unit started showing a little box with the word "replanning" in it. I left it alone for over an hour and it was still replannng. What the heck was that?
Any comments, informative, constructive, or critical of my nitpicking ways always welcome.
