Even tried with two different e-mails so it isn't the mail going bonkers..

Edit: Nevermind, got the mail on the e-mail account I registered at for about 3 mins ago.. My gmail still hasn't recieved anything, even though it's been several hours.

/p

Check for spam filters or go to the Freedrive section on this site where you will find a direct link

Intresting prog - although it looks a bit 386 to me, and the only traffic reports available are from traffic.com so thats not much good for the EU.

Good try though

Yea, I had that with Gmail putting stuff in spam...

RELEASE - FreeDrive 0.60

I probably know the answer to this already but does FreeDrive use a different routing algorithim to Map Monkey? I just have no confidence in MM. I have Tom Tom Mobile 5 on my phone and its like another world compared to MM! I WANT SOMETHING DECENT!! (Sorry just had one bad journey with MM too much)

Do you have the latest maps and have it on quickest route ??

The routing will be part of the Destinator app and I doubt that MM or Freedrive will work differently in that aspect...

Yep............2004 Maps and set to quickest route. It seems to want to go through tiny little streets instead of the motorway. I think I'll pull my carpc in doors this week and give it a "service " and maybe try some other maps? Just getting increasing frustrated with it.

Sure I read about CDRSKULL trying to alter the routing for FreeDrive. Didn't think that could be changed.

Thanks Mark

I think there has been talk about this before. I'm now on the latest map ( the one with the M6 Toll ) and never had a prob routing as such since.

That been said where I do have a prob its where the road is not shown ( like a bridge near me lol - got both sides... just not the bridge its self. )

That been said - I have never followed my GPS religsly ( sorry 3 attemps cant be bothered to try again on that one ) and if I know the motorway is better ( and 9 times out of 10 I do ) or any other road for that matter I follow it - it re routes any way. In other wors just aim the nose roughly in the right direction and I get there just the same.

Best way to describe it is the way councils put up signs to 'this way to x' when you know locally thats not the case... its simply a traffic flow thing. ( And yes I know GPS is not sposed to follow that but can you see what data is attached to the map ?
