Thanks again, but… Your first paragraph is quite telling but really doesn’t explain that when following a route (you know, the purple road), it suddenly goes doolally. (technical term!). I hear what you say about mapping errors, I have downloaded the latest via WiFi, but the 395 doesn’t suffer in the ...

Thank you for your offer of help - it is appreciated. However, I have ensured that ‘U Turns’ has been set to ‘Avoid'.
