Hello, ProMods team and readers -

During a delivery, I noticed these weird Route Advisor directions that told me to drive through a company's depot instead of on the road next to it, I took a screenshot as well. I'm unsure if this has already been reported and/or fixed, so apologies if it is.

I think the GPS just sees an alternative route and decides that's the more direct option, although distance-wise it's probably similar. One of those quirks you can ignore :D . In one or two places the RA will direct you through a gas station, but like real-life, if you don't think it's right, don't do it :lol:

I've never seen it do that on the SCS maps, neither in the base game OR the Going East DLC. I assumed that it was right to post this here, heh.

The GPS probably just takes the shortest route, and it thinks it's shorter to go via the company. SCS doesn't have company prefabs with two connections, I believe. That explains why SCS doesn't have this problem.

You've never been up the M1 or M6 in the UK, then? -it directs you through petrol stations on both those roads.
"You know you've played too much ETS2 when..." :lol: :P

Well actually Białystok is a DLC city, and that ITCC depot has 2 entrance/exits. That's why the GPS gets confused :? :lol:

Ah, I thought this might have been related to routing or something, my bad! I've never seen something like that until installing ProMods, so I immediately went here. Sorry for wasting your time! :oops:

No no, you haven't wasted anyone's time ;) :D . If you're new to the game and have problems, just ask, and someone will help you :? . In time, as you learn more about the game, you'll come across a few weird things :o . But always search the bug reports in case something you find is already known about.

Above all, have fun :lol:
