Re: So, who trusts their XT's navigation?

So after the weekend's ride when the XT is doing it's usual stupid fastest roads messing about with routes it created, the 590 is now back on the bike, and the XT will be used on car journeys that are mostly motorways. Maybe Garmin will sort this out, but I suspect not as they seem to have thier han...
