My TomTom also does that to me, but usually says that it has found a
faster route, should we take it. On major cities it works well.

The problem is that it also takes "shortcuts" via bad roads which of
course do not save any time.

These things seem to not know the real quality of the roads. There
should be an option to "keep to the main roads" or "avoid bad quality
roads".

Quality as tarmac condition, mountain road, narrow road, etc. It only
knows about some earth roads.


Now, about using the phone instead of a dedicated gps device - the later
seats better on the dashboard. Now, if they sold some dedicated small
tablet for car navigation, that would be very interesting.
