Exactly my thoughts so the next time I do the trip to Worthing I will check this as Im not sure how I would simulate this route ie from Worthing to Bournemouth if the car is actually in Bournemouth. I have ticked the avoid ferry option so if if does it again I wil be off to the local Skoda dealer.

I checked all the route options last night and to my amazement "avoid motorways" was ticked. I don't remember doing this but with the touch screen it's not difficult to select the wrong item. Hopefully this will resolve the problem - I will have to put this down to my own stupidity rather than an issue with the equipment! Thanks anyway for all your responses / comments which promted me to check out the route options.

Thanks for your reply JungleJames. There must be some humourous connection in your user name but it eludes me! The home address is showing correctly. There are ferries from Portsmouth, Southampton and Lymington along the coast parrallel with the route I take but ferry connection are turned off in the options menu anyway. There is no annoucement regarding the route being changed. I don't like to be defeated but I am competely perplexed by this so I think I will have to let Skoda sort it out.

Have already done this and has made no difference. I assume that if there is a fault it would be covered under the warranty so I wil go and see the Skoda dealer. Nice dog you have. I used to have a golden labrador who lived until he was 14 - I still miss him now and he passed away 5 years ago!

When I have entered the home destination and selected the route the sat nav annouces that "the route includes ferry connections" which is a nonsense because it is a straight road for virtually the whole journey on A27 & M27

Thanks for your reply Miz. Have done this journey 3 times and each time selected a different route ie green, red, orange and each time the same thing happened. I don't think I have any avoidances set but will check. Looks like a trip to the Skoda dealer! My car is race blue also but is the 2.0 litre VRS TSI petrol manual model. Really impressed by the build quality, performance and economy. After a round trip round trip of 170 miles odd yesterday the computer is telling me that the fuel consumption was 39.2 mpg and the engine is not run in yet - I have only driven about 500 miles so far. Are you pleased with your car?

Travelling back from Worthing Sussex to Bournemouth Dorset yesterday in my new TSI VRS - Fantastic car apart from built in SAT NAV. Selected home address at start of journey. 80 mile journey on A27 and M27 - straight road basically and no traffic conjestion. Sat Nav repeatedly suggested turning off left, presumably toward ferry terminals! Has anyone else had similar problems and if so what is the resolution? Thanks.
