    I've found that routes depend on the software as well as the map. Mobile PC, Mobile XT and Garmin on IOS give me different routes with the same map image in some cases, with the XT one providing the best routes, followed by Mobile PC and then Garmin IOS. On Mobile PC, I've actually seen progressively better routing with each map iteration.

    In the present 2012.30, an improvement is that on highways, even without LA, it does say to keep right for the flyovers, whereas with the previous image it just showed the distance till the exit from the highway, which would leave drivers unfamiliar with the highway confused as to whether to take a flyover or not.

    But I think that 2012.40 might be released quite soon as they've made a mess of naming various portions of the highway and other roads. For example a large portion of the Western Express highway in Mumbai is now called Ali Yawar Jung Marg (which the Garmin lady amusingly pronounces Marginal), while it is actually just a junction near Bandra. And this is not just an isolated case. I think that in redefining the junctions, so as to provide guidance for flyovers, they've unwittingly renamed entire portions of the highways and other roads after junction names.

    Edit: Search is much faster with 2012.30
