I have come to notice that my Z1 raley picks the quickest routes to a destination. It there a way to make the Z1 look at more routing options? Many times when I Z1 calcualtes a route and I look at the 6 options, the majority of options are the same - never giving me the true shortest route.

actually, there is a quickest, and shortest option, its in the settings. that may be what your talking about

I have tried the shorters, quickest, ect... and it makes no difference. I just spent some time in Raleigh... and the Nav never took me the shortest or quickest .
