- treeman79 6y agoMiss a turn. GPS turn right in 3 miles. Umm, I’ll do a u turn. Used to happen all the time.
- ogre_codes 6y agoWe were talking about routing choosing to avoid a left turn. What you are describing isn't a routing software choice, that's you missing a turn. Not equivalent
- treeman79 6y agoMy routing software was trying very hard to avoid lefts and especially u turns. This leads to it picking absurd routes. So it’s a tangent on the topic of routing and left turns.
- mc32 6y agoAh true, the alternative would be six right hand turns or try to circle back trying to find a parallel road from which you could make a right turn. In any case, a left turn in this situation is preferable in suburban and semi rural areas.
