Default C7 Nav

Took my first trip with the C7, and decided to try out the nav. Luckily, I knew where I was going, because it was totally messed up. At one point, it directed me to go north on a highway instead of south, and later west instead of east. As I was traveling on the correct route it told me to take a u-turn. Anybody else seen this?

Check your route preferences. Fastest vs. Shortest can make a huge difference on how it routes.

I will say the system is counterintuitive compared to a Garmin but once you understand it's quirks it seems to work well.

Same thing happened to me years ago when I first got a C6. Turned out I set a Way Point. Check to make sure you don't have a Way Point loaded.
