Default NAV System

I am not very satisfied with the NAV system in my 2007. The thing can't find its way around the block. Am I doing something wrong. I put in an address and it takes terrible routes.

(Stamford? I grew up in Norwalk!).

Check the NAV Setup screen. There are 4 major categories that affect routing (things like not allowing local roads, freeways, etc).

Well, my dad worked for Barnes Engineering in Stamford during the 60's (on the Gemini program). I was just a kid at the time but do remember having Gus Grissom and Alan Shepard over for dinner a few times. Left CT in '65

Anyway, I noticed my NAV doing weird things like trying to force me off the freeway and onto only surface streets. That's when *I* learned about those routing options
