T-Road, but no guidance?

**Timbuk2**

Hi

I have a Garmin Nuvi 310 (with Navteq V9 maps). One irritating problem I noticed that it sometimes does, is that if you approach a 'slanted T-Road' and you are turning with the slant (not the acute angle turn), it gives no voice guidance - it just thinks of it as continuing along the road (almost as if the road you are travelling on merges with the road you are joining. This may look like the case on the map, but in reality it is just a T-Road)

Now I know that description is a bit rough, so I included a rough diagram

(The orange is the roads, pink is route, arrow is direction of travel)

Which means that while I am stopped at the T-Road I have to look at the map to see which way the route 'bends'

Has anyone expiernced this problem before, and if so, did you find a fix?

Thanks in advance for the help!

OK, maybe that description was a little vague.

Here's a screenshot from the GPS itself


The black arrow indicates the direction of travel

However, when it meets that junction, seeing as its a right turn, it won't give any guidance - it acts like it is just continuing straight along a road. It doesn't do this if I was turning left.

By the way, it isn't just this junction, it's any junctions *like* this, where the road that you are meeting as a T-road is fairly slanted

Anyone ever had this problem?

I dont think its a problem they all do it
the GPS is following the main road

I do understand your point, but it can get misleading though sometimes when you are in a place you're not familiar with and approach a T-road (where you have to stop and yield to traffic on the main road) and have 'her' stay silent, so you have the look at the map to see which way to turn, which is irritating sometimes as your car may not be set up correctly to take the turn (e.g thinking you are to turn left and go to the left hand side of where you yield, only to find out that you are to turn right, but there are cars at your right ready to turn right



(I know, bad diagram )

Looks like a normal T-road, right? But look at the overall shape of it, it's slanted (now it might need to be a bit more slanted than that for the GPS to have the problem, but you get my point)
