I just took my longest drive to date in my 4GS, from Pennsylvania to Boston. I set the Nav for my hotel --- picking the longest route because it avoided New York City. All was fine until I stopped for gas. Before I shut off the engine, I look at the Nav screen and saw that I was 58 miles from my destination. Gassed up and back in the car, I got back on the road. A minute later, I looked at the Nav screen. Now it said I was 87 miles from destination. WTF?! Apparently, my Nav picked a different route from the one I wanted, after I restarted the car. Same thing happened on the return, so I went through the trouble of deleting the destination, and reprogramming, and picking the alternate route that I preferred.
This is frustrating! My Acura's Nav has never done that! What is going on? Is it broken? I haven't noticed anything else amiss, but this weird thing with the Nav auto-picking a different and maybe shorter route, after restarting is a pain in the a$$!!!

Ive experienced similar anomalies with mty '14 GS. Sometimes when I shut off the car the recirculation setting is auto switched to fresh air even though I dont have it set on auto. Sometimes when I shut off my car, the air conditioner that I had on full blast before I shut down car....when I restart the car the air condition is off even though its 90f outside. But most of the time this does not happen.

This might sound strange but...I don't know if I have nav traffic. I do know that while driving, that Nav voice sometimes tells me stuff like "in 15 miles, construction." Or this: "in 20 miles, heavy traffic." Is that nav traffic? What does it have to do with changing the route after I shut off the engine to stop for gas? I don't remember asking for nav traffic when I got the car, nor have I asked to for a detour around traffic.
