I recently updated my Amundsen (MIB2) with the latest maps (ECE 2018 - the 12GB one).

 

The route to home from work it produces is totally crazy! The route should be simple; Work to A12 via B1019 , A12 to B1070 junction, B1070 to home. This is the route my unit gave me before the update.

 

After the update, it wants to take me off the A12 and go through Kelvedon and back onto it again, and then take me off once more and send me through the A134 and A1071 to my destination without using the A12 again! This would add 6 miles to the journey and be much much slower - the unit is set for fastest route!

 

Disobeying it and causing it to recalculate the route, it comes up with more crazy stuff as if it really does not want me to use the A12 after Colchester!

 

Other routes (like home to work) are strange as well.

 

Another thing I've noticed is the road numbers in the traffic screen are all on blue backgrounds - both M and A roads whereas before the update, A roads had a green background and M roads a blue background.

 

I have now restored the previous maps and the routing is OK again and the traffic roads numbers are back to normal as well.

 

Has anyone else noticed that this update has problems?

Ive noticed this as well. Going across the A66 it instructs me to leave the A66 then immediately rejoin it. Load of crap. Never happened with previous versions. Hopefully the upcoming 2018/19 maps will address this issue

Web site says update in November - a bit late for the summer holidays!

Yeah I had some weird routes 

 when I was in Devon last summer. Thank goodness for CarPlay and Apple maps.
