| I agree, my SP3 does it. Sometimes I zoom back in - there is something I
want to see, but one a long stretch, most want the big picture.
Also, I have used my SP3 many times when in DC, and it is not bad. My
daughter-in-law know many of the back ways, but short of that, it does a
decent job. In LA, I told it to use the shortest, and it took me on back
ways that the local I was meeting was amazed with - bestway between the
Valley and Beverly Hills a rush hour, but only a local would know.
Yes it is not perfect, but then the tools are there to make it better by
creating waypoints.
