A3 8V MMI Sat Nav - Avoiding country roads/lanes ?. Stay on main roads

[Bittern]

Hello

I like the sat nav on my A3 but I cant stand it when it is always trying to send me down very tight country lanes where there is only space for 1 car.

I went somewhere today and instead of the Sat Nav keeping me on the main road It sent me down loads of stupid lanes in the middle of nowhere only to save me a few minutes ?.

Does anyone know how I can stop this happening in the future ?. Is there any option in the menu that you know of ?

PS. I have the rout set to fast, maybe that's my problem ?

Thanks

That was my problem also but in my case setting it to fast sorted it out for me (no country roads in London). I remember when I first got the car I needed to play around with all the routing settings for a number of days in order to find a fair balance.

My A6 MMI Plus satnav has the same habit, I'll have a tinker with the settings too.
Thanks for the tip.
