I thought I was losing my mind. Sadly hate to say I'm glad others are exhibiting this issue too.

It would help if it was consistent. I dutifully move to the correct side of the road according to the arrow only to be told by the voice to turn the opposite way. A few turns later and they agree and I'm on the opposite side. I was told to stop listening to the voices in my head. Now I have to again.

I have found this occurs after the GPS and I didn't agree on the route to take and it recalculated the route on or more times. The voice prompts are correct but the next turn is one ahead. Stop the route then restart it and all is fine. Hope there is a fix coming.

Used mine alot last week. A few times the voice said turn one way and the map and bottom of screen would show the other way. I always went by what the map was showing and it was correct. I have heads up on my nav, so that don't always correct the problem. Worked great the interstate. Would show which lane I should be in.

Its still broken after the upgrade. Just got back from vacation, it happened 2-3 times. The map is correct, the voice prompts are correct the the written turns can be wrong. Isn't this GPS 101????

I have seen it a couple different way. The arrow at the bottom wrong, correct Betty turn direction. Correct arrow at the bottom and wrong Betty turn direction. Any time I have a turn coming up, I always glance at the map to make sure I know which way the orange line is wanting me to go.

I have also see on interstates where Bitchin Betty will have you take an exit just to stop at a stop sign and then get right back on. Makes no sense to me.

The other one that can be confusing is a left highway exit that then goes up and over the highway to the right. Everything on the map says to go right instead of Betty telling you to exit to the left.

As Fox Mulder would say... "You are not alone"... I've seen it several times.


Mine will also show a left arrow when the next turn is right. That's when it gets really confusing.


But I'm sure someone will jump on this thread and tell us how stupid we are and how great the navigation is. When in reality, this could kill someone long before a saddlebag mishap would.

I've said it before and now I'm saying it again , HOW CAN A GPS KILL YOU?? If you are relying that heavily on a gadget, maybe you shouldn't be operating a motor driven vehicle! SERIOUSLY!!

In the extra few seconds you spend looking at the GPS, trying to figure out where the heck it wants you to go. Why do you think ALL GPS SYSTEMS have that warning... it's to cover their a$$.


How can a saddlebag falling off your bike kill you? But there's a recall for that because it "could cause serious injury or death".


Go find something else to do.
