Come on, even with your rose tinted Lumia glasses even you surely don't think the routing algorithm would be different on Lumia nokia maps than an up to date N9 or 808?

A friend of mine has a Lumia so asked him to test a route for me I know Nokia Maps picks poorly, sure enough, same shocking route as Nokia Maps on the E7, N9 and 808 choose....

Here is Sygic choosing the correct route, same as google maps and TomTom would pick...



And Nokia maps(on Lumia) with it's added 20+ minutes detour...



Sadly this type of extended routing is commonplace with Nokia Maps. I'm a fan of the interface, and the live traffic updates on the Symbian version are really useful, but the poor routing means I have to stick with my old E7 with Sygic GPS for my sat nav duties. Only reason I still have two phones instead of just the 808.
