Hi Steve,
Please send Sendero's Tech support this route and we will try to
determine what is going on with that.
Thanks
Charles.

Hi all
I had a long day out with the GPS yesterday covering some 270 miles.
Generally the GPS was well behaved but I did encounter a few
problems. Most of the problems are due to map data but some may be
Sendero problems.
In a couple of places on motorways we were directed on to a ramp as
if to leave the motorway and then directed back on to it again. In
none of these cases was it actually necessary to do as the GPS suggested.
In a couple of places when directed to leave the motorway we were
instructed to turn on to the ramp and then turn on to an A road
often we were not given a direction left, right or straight ahead.
In one place we were correctly directed on to a roundabout. The
final instruction was to turn south on the roundabout but there was
no instruction telling us which exit to take. We actually needed to
go right round the roundabout and head north. The following
instructions suggested that the route was heading north but there
seemed to be something missing on the roundabout.
Most GPS give the roundabout instructions in the form of take 3rd
exit. This is a clear unambiguous statement and it would be nice if
Sendero could do the same.
