Never trust POI locations in your satnav. Google and TomTom are dreadful, and they seem to be the source for most others. I'm sick and tired of filling in reports and corrections.
Some days it feels as if there is someone purposely creating rubbish POI. Google now shows POI locations that are the private houses of company directors - presumably their registered office rather than their place of business. So near me there is a cookshop, a hairdressers, car repairs... but all of the actual locations are private houses.
I used to use the excellent pocketgpsworld POI database until my satnav made it far too difficult to update. Now I can't with the satnav built in to my car.
I feel great sympathy for the poor driver.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9, Nexus 5, Galaxy tab S3. Also use OSMAnd+, Sygic Mobile Maps, and OS maps app. Also "Great Britain Topo Maps" and "Old Maps". Don't use speed camera database as sticking to the limit is safer. |
