upon the u-turn i made along LDP @ Jalan SS2/55.

Perhaps my statement was blurry. Anyway, here's what happened and is still happening to me.

Destination from SS2/73 (in-law's house)
Destination to Aman Suria (say kayu or something)
GMXT and Nuvi 205w plots route to drive via LDP heading towards Kelana Jaya.
I refuse due to massive jam encounters.
So i exit to LDP @ SS2/75 and make a U-Turn via SS2/55 LDP (as shown on wikimapia in 1st post of mine)
Due to extremely slow moving traffic, recalculation only begins after i pass Petronas/BHP petrol station.
Continously re-calculating for several times. Pink route still showing initial calculated route which is heading through Kelana Jaya LDP.
300-500m later after the U-Turn should be near KDU/indian cemetary.
Finally a proper re-calculation appears and shows me the proper route to where i am heading which is towards sprint highway/kayu ara/bandar utama centerpoint.

So in other words, i get the designation a lil bit late. sometimes too late to make a turn out of LDP heading to Kayu Ara. if i didnt know my way around, i'll be heading to the Damansara Utama Tunnel and miss the turning when i should be keeping left.
This could be an annoyance if people from out of town came and used this particular route. As we know, the LDP after KDU/indian cemetary, one will need to know which lane to keep to. unfortunately both my devices always end up re-calculating till i hit very near the indian cemetary. a very risky situation and detour is a long way.

the times i am in are always in the early evenings. clear weather still sunny. (pasar malam in ss2 is on mondays and thursdays so the jam is pretty horrible)
i cannot be moving very fast and neither am i under the bridge at the u-turn for very long. so i doubt something is affecting the signal.

thanks in advance for advice.

There is NO RECALCULATION, if you are traveling on the parallel road in the same direction as the calculated route. See pic for better understanding.

moeyhc wrote:Just my finding on the Re-Calculating problem with the new MFM Maps. Since v1.43a (now using v1.44) there are no instances of recalculating. The route (N5 20.225 E100 17.509) I take everyday is very prone to this problem and having a recalculating free route for 2 weeks is a welcome sight. Will load the older version to verify (GMXT vs Nuvi comparison).... cheers!
