I love the Nav system in my 2001 Odyssey. But the other day it suggested a very strange routing.
Sometimes I will have the NAV set up a route when driving around my home town area, even though I know the area well. The other day I was driving along a highway when the chime sounded indicating that I was off route. I was puzzled as I KNEW I was on the correct route. I looked at the display and saw that the NAV had wanted me to get off the highway at the last exit. It had wanted me to exit, drive about 1/2 mile down a road, make a U-turn, drive back to the highway, and get right back on going the same direction! HUH?
Local knowledge of the streets/roads in an area is sometimes needed to get the best route. The system is great, but often I will know better routes that what NAV will suggest.
