Mods, any chance of making this topic a sticky. I think we had it for TT2 and it would be usefull to have the same for TT3.
It may also be worth creating a central POI file with these errors in. I have started to create some on my TT and have them detected by GPSAssist, so that I am alerted of them when approaching and can plan around them using the map screen and avoids etc.
What do people think of this idea. |

Nice idea but unrealistic. TomTom don't help. Submit your findings directly to TeleAtlas. _________________ Lutz

Do you not think that it would be a good idea for users to share the errors found. This would be handy if travelling to an unfamiliar area and would give a heads-up on any errors you could expect to find.
Surely it's worth giving a go. If enough people are interested and could send details of the errors to me, I would be willing to try to compile and ammend the POI file myself.
I would have thought making this topic a sticky would be a great start point.
Anyone agree, or am I on my own on this one? |

We are almost at a page of stickies. I would vote on getting rid of a few old ones before we add more |

I think a POI file of map errors would be useful, especially as TTN3 gives some odd directions when you go off-piste. A warning of approaching map "iffiness" would be nice.

Tomtom also hacve a map errr reporting form on their site. I used this and got an automated response from Tomtom telling me that they did not yet have the capability to track the probelm. |

You have to ask why they have the form on their website then surely? _________________ TomTom 6 - SPV M5000 and WM6

So what do we do about all the "Keep Left"s when it really means "Keep Right" and vice-versa? Is this a continential thing?
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned much, or did I miss the topic? |
