POI (Hospital) position error.

[cc130]

Wotcha all, new-boy here.
Recently I had reason to use my TTG (v4.42) for routing to The Great Western Hospital in Swindon.I know exactly where it is but wanted to check quickest route from my then present position. It appears that TTG's database thinks the position is N51,31',20'' when it should be N51,32',20''. That is the northings is in error by 1min.Westings is OK at W01,43',40''.
Any info on what I need do to get this officially corrected?

If it's exactly a minute out, it sounds like a possible typing error - if data is entered in d-m-s rather than decimal degrees. Taking you about a mile south of where you want to be isn't a lot of use!

There is a link on the TomTom site for notifying errors - and one of the regular contributors has a different link in his signature (if you read a few threads, you'll find it).

Either way, it could be months - or even years - before your correction gets into an updated release.

Meanwhile, create your own POI - or favourite - and use that instead.

Many thanks prompt reply rk, I thought as much. Yes, 'tis exactly 1 mile S, (1nm anyway; 1min lat = 1nm ?). 8)
Shall seek out the error notifying links as you suggest and have already created proper posn. as a favourite.
