I noticed a trend lately with Tom Tom GPS. It seems on any trip that goes more than 30-40 minutes away from my home the directions seem to always take an awful turn. It will choose to take the most dangerous path to get to any major highway. I usually notice it ahead of time when I am in my own state and quickly reroute, but traveling to unknown regions can become quite scary.
For example, this past month I went to a music festival in Liberty State Park. On one leg of the journey I was directed to the Garden State Parkway, which is completely normal. But instead of staying on the current road for 2-3 more exits it told me to get off in one of the most crime ridden areas in the state, drive through the heart of it and find an on ramp.
My only two theories for the reason it continually does this is it either wants to see me get car jacked or it is trying to help me find a good weed hook up. Maybe that should be within the Point of Interest menu...that would be helpful for a lot of people. The drug part, not getting shot in the head, that is never helpful because of the whole dying thing.
