Stupid TomTom Europe!

Can anyone tell me how to stop my Tom Tom Europe from taking me off the motorway and onto B roads? It's really annoying when the fastest route is selected and yet it insists on telling me to turn off onto rural roads (because it 'cuts the corner off' - so to speak)!

For example - the quickest way to my home from the midlands is via the A34 (a near motorway), then along the A303 (similar) and onto the M3. Yet when I pass Newbury on the A34 it tells me to turn off! This is sheer stupidity - it can never be quicker to go through Newbury and all the other villages on that B road! Ignoring it results in it telling me to turn round!

Help! (before I bin the thing!)

PS - try the Ozzie Osbourne voice - it'll make you chuckle. (But not with the wife in the car!)

Tap the screen, then prefs.

Under planning tell it you like motorways and main roads, and not minor/b roads

Thanks getsurfers - but unfortunately it doesn't give me that option! I can only select 'avoid motorways' and fastest route etc. There is no 'use motorways' (or similar) option.

it can never be quicker to go through Newbury and all the other villages on that B road

You have to remember that many B roads are National speed limit i.e 60mph for cars, and many dual carriagways are 40 or 50mph, so the B route appears the fastest. There are a couple of places in North Kent where similar things happen.
