On a trip to the Lake District these past few days, I had high hopes for the Business Nav in my F30. It disappointed hugely.
I made sure I selected 'avoid tolls / pre-paid routes' but nothing else.
On the way up, I selected 'fastest route' - it proceeded to take me on a myriad of different A-roads and motorways to get there.
On the return leg, it was disastrous - I chose 'eco pro route' thinking it would get me to mostly the motorways - not so! I ended up in several TOWNS, including Bradford (seemingly a breeding ground for speed cameras) and the like. Next to no motorways again!
I have no doubt this Nav would help me find unknown places, but compared to the Tom Tom's navigation, this was rubbish.
Tom Tom would always take me for miles on the same motorway and a much more direct route - I guess I'll have to scrap the Sat Nav and resort to AA map instead for long journeys?
Who would have thought?
