kinda, I guess - just keeps you heading the right direction, without using the obvious. First time I turned it on, I was just entering a small town. It had me turn left just past the centre, then again, and we headed through the houses, feeling more and more like it was just into a housing estate. I started talking to it "you'd better know what the fuck you're doing", then we popped out on to a road that tracked a valley top, suddenly plummeting down through the trees to the valley bottom, lovely curves all the way, a wee Bridge at the bottom, a tight right turn, then some proper tight hairpins back up the other side of the valley. Couple of Dutch Motorcycles parked up on one the hairpins taking photos of their adventure. Proper 1st gear hairpins, having to slip the clutch it was so tight and steep. Glorious day. I'm sold on the feature. When you've had enough fun, or the clock is ticking on, flick it back to quickest and make some time up. Then back to winding roads :-)
