FYI, i am staying in University Malaya. But then it dont know about existence of the PJ gate and KL gate ( there is a road in the map, but don't know why it just wont use that route). It keeps on insisting me going to the Damansara gate, which is very very frustating.

as you know, after midnight, only KL gate is open, thats why it is casuing trouble to me...

Is there any possible way for me to change the routing or force the device to take that route? Or is there any other way to edit this thingy?

( P.S: when going out from UM, it will use the route, but when coming back from other place, it will call me to go in through damansara gate, which is farer than going through KL gate..)

In the end, i sense that the routing is kind of like, weird..... because last time when i wanted to go to tropicana from Mid valley, it took me to a highway which is obviously a much farer route.....

Someone have this problem too?



Has you try to change the setting under " setting,,navigations,route preference?..try to change it to shorter distance..

Many people here issued a problem with " Hang during Navigations " on Nuvi 50LM,so i want to share my story here,yes i'm facing the same problem first,so my solutions for this is,i throw away " gmapbmap " file in " .system " folder ( hidden ),which i believe thats file came from factory its size around 25mb cause the hang and lag of map scrolling while i'm browsing the maps.So i replace the "gmapbmap " file from my nokia Garmin Mobile XT file which is more smallest ,around 9mb ,and i'm also believe,you can throw away this gmapbmap without replacement,since we just have detail map,so no need this basemap.. ,tested navigate from Tangkak to Shah Alam and come back,the issue disappear..no more " hang during navigations ",for more info..i'm also update my firmware to the latest firmware before doing this issued by garmin website.

Hope this help somebody here..

TQVM.

Corrections...these basemaps " gmabbmap " cant throw away,must put together with the other maps,forgot it..this " gmapbmap " stand for " basemap ",and its doesnt appear in maps selections menu,but its important to make other maps selectable,if we throw this basemaps,one of the other maps will cannot " unselect ",it will remain " marked " even we try to " untick " it to unselect....this method what i know work with Nuvi 50LM..other unit may different ..TQVM n appologize..
