Check your settings on each unit.
Make sure that you have them the same.
As you probably already know, you can set for the shortest route and also for the fastest route.
If they are set differently on each unit that could explain your problem.

Paula used it for a meeting in Hamilton just off the 403. She knew how to get there but not how to get back on the 403 to get home so she let it take her... well thing took her through downtown Hamilton at 5pm to get to a much longer route via Hwy 6 and the 401. It doesn't even make a good paperweight.

Not only that fellows; but, you can usually buy a refurbished tom- tom or garmin from geeks, newegg or tiger direct ever so often cheaper than you can update your off brand. You don't even need to think about how I learned that.

G day,
"Any hints on how to get permission from the boss after the fact?"
Douglas, you could always give it to the "boss"as a gift, You would probably soon get it back.
