Reading Texas's post I downloaded Sygic and set up the destination, my mothers house. Sygics makes the detour !! Tomorrow live testing.

Quite happy with Sygic, however the Car Navigation app. Graphics are inferior for sure, route may be inferior to NNG. At such short distance I made, hard to tell

About routing and TMC, FWIW
By coincidence, my mother in law has also road works almost in front of her door now. Since more than 6 months, 8 or so, we have to choose different route to visit her.
Since a few weeks, works are in her part of the street and day over she is unreachable, at night and in the weekend, she isn't. We can get there by car.
I am not surprised (or, better I am) Sygic shows her street as "open" however we still have to make that one detour. On the other hand, neither NNG products nor Sygic do know part of the normal route is blocked since 8 months or so. Makes me think though.

Yesterday evening, I planned a route on Sygic to a hotel I spent some time once or twice. Not to go there, but to compare Sygic, NextGen and google maps (on PC).
Sygic showed me the normal route +/- 250 kms (, same for NNG, same for google. Going back to Sygic, the route was +/- 300 kms, about 30 minute longer ! Why I don't know. Accident on the road? Who knows? NextGen and google kept saying +/- 250 kms. Sygic insisted on 300 kms. Today it's back to 250 kms.
I wonder if TMC had a influence on Sygics choice of routing.
