Remspoor Posted June 16 Posted June 16 21 hours ago, St.Jude said: So i used this today. And Waze. The all, twice, sent me on a weird fucking loop. It stacks the waypoints in to Google maps, so when you reach it you have to hit “next stop”. Twice, the next point was basically either past a point I crossed, or just randomly entered. One took me off the motorway to a town, to do a u turn at a round about to join the motorway where I left it. This wasn’t me getting it wrong, this was what it suggested. The next one basically had the point in a place where I should’ve turned left half a mile from where the last point was. I gave up on it. Waze was as bad, but not in the same way. Both of these got the tolls woefully wrong. The app said I’d incur €30 of tolls. I got to €15 before I stopped. Waze told me I’d incur €18 of tolls. Which correlated a bit to what the other app said. I paid €32 in one toll, and another €25 on top of it. The app said, in the Google Maps suggested route, I’d pay €100. I’m more or less there, as I fucking got papped by a camera. Tomorrow I’m in Spain to Portugal. I intend to use Google maps and avoid tolls. The YT video said do not use the avoid tolls . I use TomTom that is way more reliable than any Google product. It is not 100 perfect but it is 90% better than Google. Avoiding tolls in Portugal is harder than in Spain. Some of the tolls in Portugal do not have any booths. Just cameras. Some cameras in France do not send letters. I hope that is one of them. lesapandre 1

It was a camera in a bit of roadworks. It papped me and it was meant to be a 50k zone, which I thought I was doing. The fucking needle was covering the bottom of 60, so I was doing 56 or something.
