[gps-talkusers] my first trip with 4.0--not good

Hi all,
I just tried to walk a simple, half-mile route then come back. Because of the Blue Logger I had to create the route partway through, but as soon as I did I had "skipped 2 points along route". How could I since I had created the route not five seconds previous to that message?
Anyway, all turns were announced very early and I kept getting sequences of messages like "Approaching xxx street in 250 ft." "Turn right on xxx street". "xxx street, 100 ft ahead". Why would it say I was approaching, tell me to turn, then tell me I had not even reached the street onto which it just told me to turn??? BTW, my accuracy through this little treck was between 25 and 54 ft (4-7 satellites).
I love the new interface and bluetooth receiver handling. I love the new POI database and other updates to the maps. The routes and accuracy are quite bad, though. I will say they are not as bad as they were in 3.5, but it is like routes are planned from either your starting or ending point in a previous route or something and not from where you are at the time at which you create the route. I must just be lucky--I seem to always be the one with the bad experiences with these updates. <smile 

Have a great day,
Alex
