Copilot (Central) odd/naff routing

[Guest Griff_FFOC]

Got copilot live 7 running on my Touch Dual, and decided to plan some routes on the Copilot Central software, and came up with some odd routing.

For example, on a test route;

the QUICKEST route is 51.75 miles, taking 47 mins

the SHORTEST route is 40.99 miles, taking 41 mins.

Now unless i'm mistaken, the QUICKEST route is surely meant to be the QUICKEST.

The route it gives as quickest usually isn't the quickest, or the route i'd take. This test one is only a few minutes difference, but i've had quite a large difference on other routes.

It also doesn't seem to ever give the same route any other routing program such as Google Earth, Multimap, Streetmap.co.uk, Route 66, AutoRoute.

I've come accross this on pretty much any route I use in co-pilot central (0.5.60.0 in Vista), and fairly certain I'll get the same on the coiplot on my device. Anyone else have any routing issues with Copilot?

I've mailed ALK a few days ago, but am yet to here from them.

If anyone wants to test theirs with the same route, it can be downloaded from HERE.
