    HAHA - can someone please navigate to Turbot street

    I was going to the city last night from the south and the navigation routed me through Turbot street, however, it said keep LEFT, then, take the turn off to the LEFT. But clearly Turbot street exit is on the right, and it curves right... so whats up here.

    It also happens at the intersection of strathpine road and gympie arterial road - map shows right, and thats the correct way, but it says take the LEFT turn...

    in the city, due to high structures the signal might get confused/low. Once I was using my nokia phone for gps in the city, and one point It was showing me moving when obviously I was parked on the side.

    I don't think it's the signal though, as it shows my location precisely, and its a repeatable error. Strange.

    That's F'd up man. My cheap little Garmin has no issues with Turbot Street (you're coming N/B from the Riverside right?).

    Interesting to see if anyone else has this problem in their Golf...

    I guess it helps to look at signs and where you're going as well (unless you tried to turn left into the Brisbane River). I'll have to go that way to test mine.

    It's yet another Telstra/Sensis mapping stuffup. Any GPS that uses Telstra/Sensis data will have the same problem.

    New maps are due out for the RNS 510 in December, maybe those will fix this problem?

    Turbot. But the cool kids on the block pronounce it Turbo

    If someone sprays "Diesel" on the sign, I swear it wasn't me
