Can't get Zumo 660 to plot a route correctly..

To summarise in case anyone has the same issue..

I didn't realise that two devices with the same map version number could have different detail levels. I assumed when it said there was a partial map of Europe installed that it referred to the area and not the detail in the map... My mistake. So it was doing it's best to route along the via points but as it was missing a load of the roads it was never going to end well.

The two devices comment was me trying to send routes through from Basecamp. I think it had corrupted them when they were uploaded to the 660 and couldn't then route correctly.... only a theory..

Anyway thanks for all the help. Much appreciated.

Well when I zoomed in on Marks map he was missing loads of small roads hence the weird routing shown in the picture. Having installed the full Europe map onto an SD card it routed perfectly so I'm not convinced you're right on that...

The 590 & 660 have different maps. NTU for the former & NT for the latter. The latest update for the 590 is 2018.1 I believe & 2017.1 for the 660.

Makes you wonder why Garmin even bother updating maps up to 4 times a year if nothing ever changes.
