That's a setting for the rns510 - not a feature of v4 maps.
you can either turn on/off the option to "Suggest 3 Alternative Routes" at the start of each navigation.
by default, this is off.
its there in ur rns510 settings - under "Setup Navigation" menu.

i have that turned on on mine, and i'm using the v3 maps.

i too have ordered the v4 maps.....at a bargain price

i'm not expecting much gains though. curiosity got the better of me.

Thanks, dArK5HaD0w, I must have turned the routes option off a year ago when I got the car and the upgrade must have turned it back on. I'm getting old.

So far, having used the V4 maps for a few weeks now, have not noticed any differences around Melbourne other than the irritating "1km to the toll point" on a frequent basis which gets rather annoying on a long journey.

I don't mind the toll notices...went thru to Sydney with the family last week, and it sure was handy for digging out change for the machines in plenty time.

Makes sense - but the toll roads here in Melbourne are mostly electronic so no actual physical toll being paid - just deducted from your account. Thus of little use and seemingly no option to turn this off...

Does upgrading maps wipe your HDD in any way (music partition)? I don't think I need to upgrade (I don't often go into 'new' areas) but it's always nice to keep up with what's new.
