BaseCamp still can't plot fastest route.

V 4.2.2. I previously ran into problems with BC not providing the fastest route. This time I confirmed that with no alternate waypoints Basecamp can't even be consistent with only start & finish points.
Traveling from OH to VA
N41.09968 W81.30503 to
N37.64877 W76.58514
BaseCamp gives a route of 441 miles and a time of 9Hr 43 min


But if I travel from VA to OH
N37.64877 W76.58514 to
N41.09968 W81.30503
BaseCamp gives a route of 427 mi and a time of 8Hr 29 min.
No change was made to route options between plotting the two routes.

Just how am I supposed to trust Garmin programs to provide correct routing? This is NOT the first time this type of conflicting route information has been provided.

If I enter the coordinates in my Nuvi 2455 which route can I expect to be given as "Fastest" ? Either of these or perhaps a third route?

I would be ashamed to put out a product with such random and sloppy programming that it can't calculate if 9Hr 43 min is shorter or longer than 8Hr 29 min.:mad:
  • Hopefully the OP is out enjoying the weekend rather than staring at a computer.

    I understand the OP’s concerns and suspect the observed issues may derive from the speed settings. Whether it indicates an issue with the routing algorithm, the map data or everything is fine can’t be assessed without knowing all the routing settings as well as seeing the details of the routes the OP obtained.
