Another flaw I've found with navigation, it hasn't learned my route habits, and navigation is quirky. For me when I come down county road to go home all I have to do is make a left into 35 north, but the navigation tells me to make a right, go up to the next light, make a u-turn and go back north which is totally incorrect. I have left the navigation on about 10 times and it still has not learned the proper route. The navigation does take you some very awkward routes even if you change the settings. My Z2 was so much better in route selection. County road has been there for 30 years as Is the allows of turning there, so it's not a new road. My z2 picked the proper route.

I had hoped that the NEX units were better at "learning" routes than the Z150. Waze seems to have that capability.

I did notice that when I was passing the U-turns (left turns according to the nav system), it would take me futher up where there was a traffic light and would ignore the U-turns without traffic lights.

Which route type are you using?  I have been using just FAST route type so far. I haven't tested the other route types.  Will try the short and others to see if any are better at routing.

Trust me when I say I have tried all the route types, I travel extensively for work and have selected the different route types just to see how well the nav works compared to how I would have chosen the actual rodes myself

Between the different route types, which one do you prefer?

Honestly short, but turn off side streets

Fastest is definitely not the fastest routes as some of the routes I've been driving for 25 years are the fastest and the nex does not bring me that way quite a bit of the time.

I've put about 7 thousand miles on my nex since I've had it installed and I'm hoping the learning curve kicks in. Sometimes I wonder if nex is adding the traffic ability to the route it choses even though connected services isn't working yet. That I know of.

I just drive my normal fastest ways, and use the nex for guidance when I am the area I don't know, I do love the alternate route pop ups though.

Thanks.  I'll experiment with short routing type.

I do know that the NEX does use traffic info.  I was annoyed when I first used it out of the box and left everything in its default settings.  I was wondering why it was taking me off the main highway and trying to put me on a local road.  Ended up finding out the default setting for the Traffic setting "Offer Detour if it Saves at Least" was set to 5 minutes and "Confirm Detours Manually" was disabled.  When I changed that to 15 minutes it left me on the main highway.  This was under FAST route type.  Will see if it does the same thing in SHORT.

I'm guessing that NEX does traffic the same way that my Z150 does it. It's part of the HD radio, and its not available everywhere.
