> Hi,

> during the last two days I had the chance to compare a lot
> of long distance routing of my Garmin 62s (Firmware 5.30, so newest
> one with activity routing) with my map generated with mkgmap r3111
> and a commercial built in car navigation system.
>
> The routing on long distance between both devices was the same.
> The difference between the km the 62s calculated and we drove was
> about 1%, the time about 3%.
> Inside of cities on short routes the 62s did choose the better
> routes, but I think that's only because the OSM data was more up-to-date.
>
> So the "NOD127" branch was really a very good job!

> There were only two negative aspects:
> - the 5.30 firmware for the 62s is a nightmare in stability and
> usability :(
> - if you enable "avoid u-turns", the 62s will not only avoid them,
> but really never does them, even if it means there is no legal way
> to continue. Means in two situations we were suggested to use a cycleway
> or a footway. That's reproduceable with the 62s, but not with MapSource,
> so I think it's a firmware bug.
> (if somebody wants to try: Route to "Tigerpalast" in Frankfurt a. Main and
> continue with Routing to "Lange Strasse 30-36" with "avoid u-turn"
> enabled, car, fastest route).
