Going into YNP from West Yellowstone the cute female voice directed me to make a U turn and I went HUH? All the way through Madison Jct, past Old Faithful, through West Thumb Jct I got the U turn thing. It wanted me to go back to Bozeman then across to the north entrance. The U turn thing didn't stop until I reached Lewis Lake just north of the south entrance. The second trip was up to Silver Gate and Cooke City over the Beartooth Hwy. This was also programmed correctly into the 760. Same U turn thing all the way to Madison Jct, through Norris Jct, Canyon Village Jct and past Tower/Roosevelt Jct. The U turn thing didn't stop until 10 miles out of Silver Gate. I've traveled these routes many times so I know the turns at the junctions which I'm glad I did cause the 760 was no help whatsoever. Perhaps it doesn't recognize the highways in the park for some reason. Not happy at this point with the 760.

UPDATE on my original reply:
On the return trip back home to Helena, MT, I programmed in my route. All was well going north out of West Yellowstone until the first of 4 junctions I know very well. The cute female voice directed me to turn the opposite direction that I knew was wrong so I got the U turn thing for miles. At the second junction I was again directed to turn the opposite direction than I know was right so I turned the way I knew was right. You guessed it U turn again. After I ignored the wrong directions at the third junction I was told to turn left on Hedges Lane which was described as an unpaved road. I have unpaved roads blocked in my setup. Next I was told to take a sharp left onto Cemetery Road which I know is a really bad road that turns into a 4 wheeler trail with no place to turn around. The last junction was where the secondary hiway joins I 15 so that one was right. So all in all for this trip the 760 was wrong 9 out of 10 times. I wish I had my 7200 back it was never wrong in 7 years. This junque is going on Ebay where I hope I can recover some of my 400 bucks so I can buy a GPS that works more than 10% of the time. I would not recommend this unit to anyone at this point.
