G'day Stavros,

Had CN5 and MG4 both sellected at the time. Tried various complinations, but
no success. At the end of the Partial section, only way to get back on track
again was to select that particular route again and let Matilda recalculate.

Had some fun at her expense at Warrnambool. Drove out onto a fishing jetty
which wasn't shown, only water. She went into recalculation mode and had to
turn her off to shut her up.
