Wrong audible directions

I hope I'm doing this right, I am new.

Audible instructs a right turn on to Piedmont Road (at approx Cottonwood) when in fact you are already on Piedmont after crossing Bells Ferry. There is no turn to make.

Thanks

OK I posted a map issue for this in the area of the error.

The first alert of the erroneous turn is while still on Ernest W Barrett Parkway (not Ernest West Barrett Parkway as stated audibly. W is the initial of the man). Ernest W Barrett Parkway ends at Bells Ferry Road and Changes into Piedmont Road after crossing Bells Ferry Road. There is no Right Hand Turn to make as directed (at Cottonwood Drive) to be on Piedmont Road. You are at that point already on Piedmont Road traveling straight with no turns.

This issue has been resolved and I set it to such in the editor.

I didn't see anything wrong. However, at cottonwood, the city changes to None. We do see some "odd" behavior sometimes when a street name remains the same but the city changes. I went ahead and rebuilt the Cottonwood intersection.

I also found reverse connectivity at Cajun and Cobb Place junctions, so I removed those. However, that should not have affected verbal instructions.

If you (or someone) could post a Map Issue at this location where the routing shows this improper turn, we could nail down exactly where the instruction is occurring. However, now that the junction has been rebuilt, it may behave. After the next map update cycle completes, try going through here again.

I just noticed that I had left this segment named, which is incorrect as roads on both sides are named differently. I just fixed this now.
