I think they are probably relatively quite rare in comparison with the rest of the map. Its just typical I live in one!! This is so frustrating. Thank you anyway bigbun, you have confirmed that it is not me - its simple a problem with the map vectors I imagine. They are probably bits of map that arent quite connected to the rest of the map so the route calculation cant get to them. This is very bad mapping! Oh well, iGuidance has better routing and looks nicer anyway (plus Ive made a raelly nice skin for it in RR)!

As a side note: I have been playing around with emulating TomTom Navigator 5 with a PocketPC emulator. I can confirm - Although it does functionally work fine, it is no where near fast enough to be usable. It has almost 100% CPU usage on my desktop PC and is really sluggish - so I dread to think of the speed of it on my car PC! The PocketPC version is nowhere near as smooth (the graphics refresh rate) as the stand-alone version from TomTom (e.g. TomTom Go) anyway so it wouldnt look as nice even it did work fine. This is also such a shame as TomTom is easily the best nav software. Make us a PC SDK TomTom!!

Anyway, thanks again,

LLOYDY
