Thank you for your reply. The road must have been reported as closed as my mates Tomtom knew the road was closed. On my XT there was no road closure shown the route just went straight through the closed road. So I followed the Diversion signs until they disappeared and abandoned us. I just abandoned...

I suppose the only other option would be that when you come to a closed road would be to stop and edit route to avoid the next 1 mile 2 miles etc. But that seems a bit of a faff. Especially as Tomtom just gets on with it, routes you around the road closure and gets you back on route. Apart from this...

You're welcome

You will get the "Area" name if the waypoint is not exactly on a road with Here Maps. So if you use Google maps you need to switch to Here maps to make sure it is on a road recognised by Here.

You will need Garmin POI loader, free software.
