Avic-f500bt not re-routing

I have been using the f500bt for a few weeks, but since the last couple of days have been having an issue with the re-routing.

 

I drive quite a bit and sometimes take shortcuts for roads that I know, but are not suggested by the Avic. Everytime I do this, the unit announces "Offroad" but makes no attempt to recalculate the route.

 

As soon as I am back on the suggsted path after my shortcuts the unit resumes guiding me from there.

 

Anyone faced this issue and know of any fixes for this :?:

I've had this with my avic last week. No recalculation. I always needed to delete the route and then put it back in again.

 

After a total reboot all was fine again.

 

Have you tried to unplug and take out the battery for a while and the reboot?

That worked!!! I hit the reset button a couple of times but the unit kept doing the same. Then I pulled the battery out as suggested and presto...all is well with the re-routing.

 

Now only if all the quirks of these units could be solved by a simple reboot :idea:
