Don't know if anyone read this article in the times , or has got one of these with the problem


RAC maps out a very scenic route to Devon - via Ireland, Wales, France...

Aparently the RAC online routfinding service has been sending people on weirde routes to anywhere.

Sounds like a bit from a Monty Python sketch - " oh no to get to DEVON , YOU GOT TO GO VIA ......."

It was on Top Gear at the weekend. The woman wanted to get to devon avoiding the M5. Seems a little OTT to send her via Cork though

It's almost as good as the Autoroute error which sent you all the way around the world rather than the direct route between two close by cities. I can't remember the details but I am pretty sure it ended up reported on theRegister.

Microsoft's Autoroute gave me a route from Yorkshire to the North coast of Scotland via a very long ferry from Newcastle to the Orkneys and back to Thurso. When I excluded that ferry port it rerouted me Via Hull and Norway!
