I have checked the "avoid toll roads" option, but that doesn't work. Any ideas? I have tried creating a couple of routes in MyDrive which skirt the zone, but these don't sync with the GO iOS app...

Hi @jd__
Welcome to the Community! The "Avoid toll roads" option should be sufficient. Can you provide us with the route (Starting point & Destination) and also, the time you were driving on it? It'll also be nice to add the location of the zone you drove through.

I just tried to repeat it now and it avoided OK - could be a map update or time of day/week.
Will try again next Sunday
Thank you1 -
Hi @lampard
I think it has a problem.
Here's a route which slices straight through the zone from north to south, during operating hours (https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2020/june/temporary-changes-to-the-congestion-charge-to-secure-safe-recovery)
Here's part of my settings
and the rest:
What hours does TomTom/the map data think the charge operates?
Thank you,
John

Now (Monday morning) it is going around the zone:

There are changes to the times of operation coming up - starting in February https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2021/december/changes-to-the-congestion-charge-to-support-long-term-traffic-reduction-and-a-sustainable-recovery0

This is still not working - come on TomTom, not a complex set of rules.
Just tried to plan a route from north to south like the ones above and it went straight through the zone. This is just after 12:00 on a Saturday, when the zone has just started operating.0
