Shortest Route Question?
Discussion
If you choose the shortest route on a satnav, will it select the shortest route no matter what..
i.e take you on some farm track for 10 miles just to save you half a mile from the adjacent running motorway? I'm assuming this is the case..
Therefore is there a way to select 'shortest route within reason', i.e the shortest route without doing something silly like the above example? or do satnav units tend to keep you on reasonable roads anyway?

It does take speed limits into acount, BUT it can take you off down slip road, over the round-a-bout and then rejoin the motorway if it is shorter, I just have a quick glance first and ignore it if I know better!!!
What it does do different over faster route is, say you in a city with a ring road it will normally take you back onto the ring road rather than going direct through the city, which can be loads quicker!
In practice, I use fastest route for long distances and shortest for short journeys
