MapSource 6.12.2 and CN9

[Garfieldus]

Can someone help me out here please. Using MapSource 6.12.2 and CN9 can you do a route.....

from Sallins, COUNTY KILDARE, IRL

to Clane, COUNTY KILDARE, IRL

This route is only a few Kms but enough to highlight a problem that I've come across. First make sure your Edit/Preferences/Road Selection slider is all the way to the right (Prefer Highways) and calculate the route. I get brought all over the place on minor roads.

Next set Road Selection all the way to the left (Prefer Minor Roads) and recalculate. I'm brought directly via the R407.

I have "Calculation Style" set to "Faster Time" for both calculations. Surely this is the reverse of what you'd expect or am I missing something?

Don't know which Mapsource I've got but using CN9 v9.02 I get the R407 routing with both the shortest and fastest option.

Hehe... Funny that...
I usually keep mine a couple of notches to the left of Prefer Highways. Guess that's what happens when you turn the knob all the way up to 11.

They must have that R407 classed as a pretty minor road (lesser than the surrounding roads). What driving speeds have you included?
Mine are: 120/100/80/50/50. Not sure if my mapping to US road styles is correct. What does it do on your GPS device?

Mine's also 6.12.2. and cn9.

Mapsource NT9 DVD and Win98

Just spent half a day ripping out and fitting CD and DVD drives from old PCs.

I've got NT9 installed on a PC running XP - tried to install it on another with Win98 but no joy. It dosn't say on the DVD what OS is required but I've got a feeling it will have to be XP or later.

Anybody got it running with Win98 or could I download a copy?

It does'nt work with 98, only xp on, think i remember seeing that somewhere either on here or on garmins site.
