GPS navigation route error [KNOWN]

#1 Post by LeeC2202 » 09 Jan 2015 04:23

Tonight I was doing an Urgent Explosives delivery from Liverpool - Glasgow. Just outside Carlisle, the navigation system took me through a set of services, instead of following the motorway.

Screenshot attached of the problem section.

This will not be fixed, it has been around and reported since version 1. ;)

Why won't it get fixed? I know it's been in the game for ages, but why hasn't it been fixed?

because it needs to remake some core things (navigation algorithm and navigation data format) that will affect literally everything.
Nobody can tell you anything about it. Those who know about it aren't allowed to talk. And those who talk know nothing.

It's strange because I've only ever saw this in the UK... I've never seen it anywhere else :?

This will also only happen 2 or 3 places in whole map. No big deal actually.. (If you ask me).

That's because it's in the UK. Anywhere else in the map it would be fixed. :o

I say, as a revenge, lets double all fines for non UK registered lorries caught by the "boys". :P :P :P

A bit extreme, don't you think?

It shouldn't happen in any places in the map. It's a bug, therefore it's a big deal to anyone that is affected by it.... (and I don't need to ask anyone to know that, call it game developer's insight)

If there was a map error that prevented you getting into a single hotel, would that not be a big deal, because there are other hotels? A bug that affects one person might not be a big deal. A bug that affects everyone, is a big deal.

Why on earth would it need everything re-writing? The road has obviously been tagged as the wrong type of road, and the navigation system has picked it up as a shortest route option. A simple map-data change is required, nothing more. If this is anything more than a 30 minute fix, I'd be shocked.
