Probably a related report by another user: " Re- calculation was also fast most of the time, typically taking less than 10 seconds. In some cases it immediately recalculated as soon as I went off route.
I noticed however that I'm unable to calculate a route when my starting position is off road. Even if I'm just a few feet to the side of the road eg sidewalk, I'm unable to calculate a route to any destination.
