I too have had the indication given by TTN2 that I was driving over green fields although I am sure I was on a road!



This occured FIVE times in the 600 mile round trip to the Isle of Wight.   I did not find any discrepency around Swindon on the A417/A419 BUT when joining the A417 at the Burford Junction anfter diverting to Cirencester. the other times were on minor roads around the Wallops ok on the way South but off course on the return jouney.

Ian,



I've also experienced exactly the same bizzare routing instructions twice while travelling northbound on that section of the M11.



As far as I remember it never happened with TTN1

A31 between Farnham and Alton has a 2 mile stretch which is wrong. The road was modified at least 5 years ago, but still shows the old singe carriageway rather than the newer dual carriage way which takes a slightly different route. The old carriageway no longer exists!

Nik - on the whole, I find mini roundabouts aren't shown in TomTom Navigator 2 at all. That said - there are always quite a few details that need adding.





Here's another that I don't think I've put in the thread this far:



Navigator 2 doesn't know about Paula Radcliffe Way - the new A6 Clapham bypass (to the north west of Bedford).

I am using Tomtom Navigator 2 (2.24)



In Harrogate (United Kingdom) the road named Montpellier road which runs between Crescent Road and the Cold Bath Road roundabout is shown as two way. It is in fact one way running towards the roundabout.



This is a small detail but I thought I would report it. Otherwise I love the Tomtom system. How do they cram all that information into such a small device??

Livingston again (home town). The Deans South road is shown to cross the railway line joining up with Alderstone Path (actual road name) at the roundabout. The Deans South road is now blocked prior to the railway line with bollards and is a footpath only now.

Northbound M60 at J22 has you leaving the motorway and at the top of the slip road there is a large junction, when navving to the A62 to oldham, the nav has you going straight on and making a u-turn about 500meters further on, then turning left.....you can actually turn right on this junction straight away at the lights.

The whole of the Wirral has incorrect postcodes.

Wirral used to get it's post service from Liverpool and therefore had Liverpool postcodes L47, 48 etc.

About five years ago this changed and we now have Chester postcodes CH47, 48 and so on. Nav2 still has the old Liverpool postcodes for Wirral. Confusing enough if you live here but visitors would get completely fooled.

Other than this I think the software is great.
