The comments made are correct. Fastest routes include roads with higher speed limits, on the assumption that you will get there faster, all things being equal. I changed my Nuvi 3790T settings to go by shortest distance and in my local area, it takes me along routes that I normally choose by intuition. |

Changed mine to shortest route when using it on the Sunshine Coast and it took every conceivable twist it could find. Time to get ther was more than double !!! Went through every stop sign and roundabout that it could find... Fastest route for me every time, due to mainly using freeways/ main roads etc. |

Gps are computers they only know what they have been programmed to know idiot proofing them is to keep you on the main roads. Secondly you may notice when you get out of a main city speed limits on the gps are not always correct I have several roads near my house that are 100 km/h and the gps says they are only 50 km/h therefore when it does its maths it thinks that 100 km/h over x amount of km is faster than 50 km/h hour over x amount of km even though the back road is 20 mins faster on a 40 min trip main roads would take 60 min. Check out the NuRoute it has self learning software to take you the way you would normally go even if you dont program it to |
