  1. Yeah, well you are partially right..... after trying like I said 6 times the only way to make it rout correctly was going back to version 2................. just this week I reinstalled 3.01 and dl'ed the newest 2009.6 version of maps and now it is "pretty" and it routes correctly . So I guess the previous poster was on the right track in assuming it was the version of the maps that was causing the problems. I think he said his was doing the same thing in Austin Texas which mine was doing for Louisville......... again update to 2009.6 maps and its perfect....................thanks guys

  2. Well, I have the F700BT and have never yet had it correctly do "anything" for me. I quit messing with voice recognition and dont' believe it works for anyone .... seriously out of 80 or so tries its failed 80 or so times. I can call google 911 on it and google recognizes almost everything I say so I dont think its the microphone, I think its the pos software. Seems like most people are having troulbe with it......

    Anyway Nieves74, try the google 911 dialing "onscreen", it seems to work and pretty much assures me its the Pioneer software thats failing.

  3. Well I'm glad I'm not alone with this problem but I wish I knew a fix. So I gather from you guys input that you think its the new maps? After trying 3.0 and 3.01 at least and I mean at least 6 times and from different sources I always had the same problem with the crazy routing. I currently am using 2.06 and am going to leave it there, it works fine ,its not as pretty as 3.01 but its solid as far as routing goes. I just don't want to waste another 30+ hours trying to figure it out.

    Maybe we could try the new maps with 2.06 or use the old maps with 3.01? I'm not sure if they are compatible but sometime when I want to "waste" another 30 hours or so I'll give it a try.

    I installed Leet Launcher 3.0 on an SD card and was very impressed with his programming and the maps work... there were a few minor inconveniences but overall IGO 8.3 "came with leetlauncher", worked like a charm and was very pretty.

    As soon as he comes out with some fixes and updates I'll prob go with it permanently....its that nice, really is and the cool thing about it is it doesnt muck up the onboard programming.

  4. I fixed it myself... I flashed it back to 2.0 following the great post here.... then did the updates to 3.0 and 3.01 and it did the same thing. Routing was nuts, taking me off all the main roads etc etc. I flashed back to 2.0 again and this time downloaded the x910bt.zip from another source..............I thought it was working....

    Everytime I've flashed it to 3.0 or3.01 it appears to work great, all buttons work and it looks fantastic but when I route something its liable to take me on back roads and then back onto Interstate and then back roads again.

    I've changed all the setting.... easy/ fastest/ economical etc still does the same thing.

     

    When I flash it back to 2.0 or 2.06 routing is back to correct but I don't want 2.0..... I want 3

     

    Anyone else had this problem............apparently not...... I 've installed 3.0 at least 5 times now and everytime it appears to be working till I set a route and then poof it takes me on back roads again.

  5. I've had a F700Bt for about 2 weeks and really haven't gotten far from home so I don't know if the problem was there before or after I updated to 3.01. But when I get on the interstate say I-71,I route it to go into Louisville.....seems to work but it takes me off the interstate at EVERY exit. I know for a fact I don't need to be getting off so it reroutes me to the next exit............finally when I get about 5 miles from my destination it leaves me alone.

    I've had 2 other handheld units and never had any problems.

     

    I've set destination to " easy" , "fastest", " etc, makes no difference..............any suggestions?
