I made the switch to Google Navigation after using Sprint's Navigation application for a few years on my previous BlackBerry and love it! It's my primary GPS application.
So, here's my query... While I was tinkering with it today, I noticed the option to choose an alternate route.
We are going to be driving to LA a little later this evening and the default route Google Navigation chose was longer in both time and distance compared to one of the alternate routes (total of three routes).
The default route gave said it is 332 miles and 6hr/9min. When I pulled up alternate routes, the second option was 325 miles and 5hr/49min. The third route was over 7 hours long.
Do you guys know what methodology Google Navigation uses to pick the default route? Why the longer route?
Thanks everyone!!
