2013 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Rimini Red

Holy crappy satnav

So at weekend we had a ride out to Anglesey and set it into the the sat nav. I'd apple mapped it the night before so knew it was just over two hours. For some reason the sat nav said it would take 4 hours (using the Same route) which then promptly lost two hours about half way down the journey. Return sat nav correctly said two hours??

It did redeem itself in the end by successfully diverting me around a closed a55! Range Rover Sport HSE DYnamic SDV6 Velocity blue 2020 MY

Nope. I've found there's no method in its madness. It just overestimates the time massively but only sometimes. Pretty poor as my Tom Tom NEVER does that (or other silly things my RRS sat nav sometimes does).

Did you switch it to offroad navigation?

Maybe it was just trying to return to its natural habitat!
