I am finding that the 910 is almost always equating the Fastest Route with the Shortest Route---even when that is NOT the fastest route.
That is, the TomTom often wants to snake through neighborhoods, rather than take the freeway to the nearest exit. I have seen it do this dozens of times... which is a bit of a disaster when you're driving a large vehicle (bus or truck).
In one instance, the shortcut was so narrow, I had to improvise and kept going. As it turned out, the shortcut, which was probably shorter by mere feet, dumped back onto the main road. It would have been faster to simply stick to the main road.
In all my years using Magellan's product, I rarely ever encountered this.
