| Hi all, I live in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, and for the last 10 days or so I get an alert that the A61 from Chesterfield all the way to Clay Cross, approx. 5 miles, is closed due to road works, this isn't the case, has anyone else had problems in my area or anywhere else? |

Nope. Are you using the cable or the smart phone app for traffic?

the cable, I have gone into settings it is set for auto and it has selected INEXUK, I think that's right, not sure if there is an alternative, had another issue today, during my calls (I use for work) I looked at my next call, put in the postcode etc, it started to find route then the screen went to nighttime mode and got stuck acquiring satellites, I turned it off reset it and after a few minutes went back to normal, don't know if its connected or not,  |

True. If it continues though I'd try a master reset. This assumes you've already done a complete shut down, something worth doing every few days.

Inrix have an app where you can report or clear traffic issues. Might be worth seeing what data they have.
I've noticed a few traffic providers showing night roadworks as 24x7 and all the rerouting that performs.
Near me Waze has had a section of road closed off for weeks, but it isn't.
As said though, start with a full system reboot.

This does happen and you can report it to Inrix.
There was a similar incident on the approaches to Liverpool (M62/Edge Lane) indicating the road was closed, causing the Garmin to offer all sorts of alternative routes.
It turned out that the road closure had been inaccurately pin-pointed and Inrix eventually corrected its location. |

Any idea how I report an error to Inrix. I have tried their website and mobile app but I can't find any way to let them know that a road which they are showing as closed is actually open. Their app says that the road will be closed until 22/12/2017 but it actually re-opened in December 2016.
