Does this Navi know what a U-TURN is???
 
I was driving home today and just for kicks, I turned on route guidance to an out of state location. It wanted me to make a right turn ahead. I did not, and just continued on. To my surprise, I was not asked to make a U-TURN. It asked me to make a right turn in another 1.5 miles. I passed that turn, too. To my dismay, it did not ask me to make a U-TURN. Just keep going, make a right turn in 2 miles. Which, by the way, makes no sense. Without making the U-Turn probably adds 10+ minutes to the route. This is insane! Does someone know of a setting to change this??! I'm dumbfounded. :confused:

I also turned down my private driveway (a DEAD END road) and was about a mile offroad and it didn't even tell me that I was going the wrong way. Nothing auditory, nothing on the screen. Just a yellow line trailing behind me that should be my route, but it didn't tell me I'm going the wrong way.

A gps can not always distinguish everything you are trying to make it say. But if you know you can make a U turn do it. It will try telling you to make a U turn for 2 reasons one because it is safe to do so and will stop telling you if you ignore it. That being said you can still make a U turn. If you know that your going to be able to make one do it the gps will know you turned around. GPS are helpful not fool prof.

Well, that's one way of thinking about it. Thanks for the response.
