Was driving home (East London) from visiting Mother in Saffron Walden last night. I always drive down to the Stansted junction (J8) of the M11 which takes me down to the North Circular. I am almost certain I had set the Sat Nav for home via J8 as always.
Well when I got a mile or so from J8 (around Stansted Mountfitchet) I noticed the Nav was telling me to take the A120 to loop around Bishops Stortford and down to Harlow which is a longer route on slower roads. I assumed some kind of glitch and ignored it only to find that the M11 was shut both ways (Horses loose on the carriageway apparently with miles of tailbacks). So retraced steps and followed Sat Nav route down to J7 were the S bound was open.
Now was this some fluke or does the sat nav automatically respond to radio TA warnings? I don't have Connect just a standard Sat Nav.
