  1. Many thanks for your comments Dealer no real help Last week I finally received a copy of the navigation owners handbook which I requested in the vain hope it would provide better information the general car manual. No joy there. Detailed information is sadly lacking. For example on setting route criteria after giving the steps to setting the criteria it merely says "select the desired setting" . No mention of what the criteria are unlike other manuals I have read. I can only assume that the logarithm employed simply selects the quickest route. Interestingly on some journeys it give me a option of routes showing the time difference on others it doesn't Looks like back to android for journeys outside of urban areas
  2. I am away on holiday at the moment in sunny Devon the county with narrow lanes which my sat nav has taken a liking to! I never had this problem with my previous 2015 X1 and initially thought it must be me and the answer would be simple hence turning to the brains of the forum. My intention is to contact the dealer on return Thanks for your comments Spen
  3. They are selected! I must have done something to upset it!! I am concerned that the other options are not shown. Dealer has ordered me the satnav manual and I shall check if they are meant to be there Cheers Spen
  4. Hi Greydog Thanks for your comments. The lanes the satnav took me down would challenge a Transit van let alone a truck! A one week old car with vegetation brushing each side of the car and no way out except forward not happy! Started off ok. Problem is without looking at a map there is no way of gauging the type of road I have checked the nav settings and there is no Fastest, Shortest or Eco. Only avoid motorways, ferries and tolls Any ideas? Spen
  5. 2024 X1. How can I prevent the satnav sending me down narrow lanes with grass up the middle when a perfectly good clear alternative is available?
