I have a Tom-tom system fitted in my Peugeot with traffic. Generally it work well in signalling congestion but some judgement is still needed.
I usually have it set to fastest route - not always but usually the shortest. However it has a tendancy to send you up single track roads (I live in Somerset).
I assume this is because single track roads are de-restricted and the tom-tom assumes an average speed of 50-60 mph rather than 20mph actually achievable
Ignoring the suggestion and staying on the main road often adds nothing to the ETA so the difference in distance may be only a few metres. Rather than issuing "a turn around" command when recalculating it simply accepts the revised route.
It would be greatly improved with better defaults for small and narrow roads!
