The other day, it had me go 2.5 miles, through a series of back streets, to get to a store rather than simply going past it and doing a U turn.
It seems that the TomTom does not have the ability to search beyond the destination route for a better, quicker alternative.
In CLT you are much better off with Target and even TomTom knows that . There are 3 Targets within 2 miles from me, and the closest WalMart is 8 miles away.
