Simulating Route Problem

[Tron_1]

Has anyone else had a problem trying to simulate a route, not that it's a big deal but just being curious. When I try to simulate it just keeps saying "off route recalulating" over and over and the icon doesn't move. :confused:

I ran a couple of simulations without errors.

Perhaps reloading of the detailed maps would help you overcome the problem you're having.

I reloaded the world basemap and my local maps for the UK and Italy. I tried a route from home to Pisa. I thought it would be fun to leave it running overnight and see how far it got in the morning. After I tapped Yes to do the simulation I had to do 5 resets. Everytime I tapped Yes, it would freeze within seconds of the first voice prompt. Eventually it did come right and I left it running. This morning, it had found it's way across the Channel Tunnel where CS5 would always 'waste' time by routing up the coast and onto a ferry. There was no captain's log to read back. My Q had crossed into France and had run aground with all loss of life somewhere in Northern France.

I'm not convinced that basemaps and detailed maps make good routing friends. I hope it behaves better in the real world when I get to Tuscany.

Then again, could it be my SD card? mmmmmmm!

I had to do about the same number of resets before the system settled down. As I mentioned in another thread, I was finding the problem when recalculating a route following a change in preferences.

Wiggers, my problem was using the same preferences I'd always had. I checked them beforehand. It seems more stable now.

At least CS6 has resolved the problem of routing to France via ferry. I don't know if that is because CS6 now 'knows' the Channel tunnel is a faster route line, or whether it chose it because it was geographically closer?

Hmm. A route to a friend in Brussels is still being shown via ferry and ignoring the tunnel. I found that it does select the tunnel when only Basemap is available for that area.

I definitely have the detailed maps loaded for that tile of the south-east where the Tunnel is. I followed the calculated route from home, and it routed via Ashford, which it has never done before, and from there a straight through the tunnel to the other side. I wonder what's going on here? For me it's fine, for you it's not. Both on R3, both on CS6,:confused:

I've just tried setting my location to your location and it still goes via the ferry. Then I tried Paris instead of Brussels and got the same thing. Why does my iQue prefer the ferry??? :confused:

If I can intervene here, how do you load base maps and detailed maps seperately? I have only had the option to load tiles at a time. I am planning a trip to the south of france this year and I have loaded the tiles around the route which still takes up some space on the memory, I am wondering, after having read this thread, if I can just load the base maps for the route and keep detailed for destination and UK only. Any ideas?

[Wiggers]

It seems to work here. I've just uploaded a tile for central France where I went on a business trip last year and it calculated a route quite happily to a waypoint in the tile. What you loose is detailed information and PoI along the way and there's a bit of a step where it meets the tile. There was a thread about this a while ago, I seem to recall, and someone found they had to add a via near the tile edge.

Again I tried and it gave me this Fatal Alert message

"QueLib.c, Line:945, Assert failed at \udb_arte.c:1164 in UpdateNVM"
Any ideas what this means?
:confused:

I reset it and works fine now.
