    When I try and plan a route between Ullapool and Durness (Scotland) the route makes no sense using Here maps (112 miles), but looks fine using TomTom or Google Maps (67 Miles).

    Can anyone try this and see if you get the same odd result?

      @Simon-Bannister The HERE map is showing a road closure on the A838 just south of thge Kyle of Durness. If you use the Disable seasonal closures tool in the HERE toolkit you can bypass it.

        @Simon-Bannister The A838 appears to be clear today, no need to use the Disable seasonal closure tool.

          Wouldn't it be neat if having found an exceptional* route blockage the app could display it in red, indicating to the user why the route is not as direct as expected.

          The user would be informed, rather than confused.

          Not sure if it's feasible, but it would certainly have helped me in the past!

          Example:

          *closed road, serious jam, etc.

          • Seasonal closures affect not only seasonal road closures (mountain passes and the like) but also closures due to roadworks. This is why the route takes you through the closure even during planning, even though Here is actually aware of it.
