RE: Tom Tom 910 again

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The question is, is TMC worth it?  I'm not sure if it's a limitation
of my
TMC system (Merc COMAND), but it only covers motorways, so as soon as
there's a jam on the M25, it promptly diverts me off to the nearest A road
that's also stuffed up.  Some of the diversions are also a bit wacky, and
totally disproportionate to the severity of the jam.  If there's a few

r
jams close to each other on the M25 (which there nearly always is during
rush hour) it regards it as one long tailback, and re-routes accordingly,
which is one case added 55 miles to my normal 100 mile journey.  The value
of satnav to avoid jams (TMC or not) is slowly declining....5 or 6 years

now I follow a whole convoy of drivers down single-track lanes, each with
their Tom Tom or Garmin in the window.
