PURPLE Alternative Route Icon in Route Bar

spmoraes

This past weekend I was using my TomTom GO to drive from Paris to Cologne. I am familiar with the green alternative route icon in the route bar showing a faster alternative route.

On this particular trip, at one point a purple/magenta blob showed up, with the double-arrow symbol and then a +54. I couldn’t find anything in the manual or online on what this could be. I couldn’t imagine that the GPS is giving me an alternative route that would add almost an hour to my drive time.

Does anyone know what that purple icon means?

HI and welcome to the Forum.

I think the Firmware is a little buggy
