750Live & 740Live - Map correction differences

[Fibre]

I have two toms -- one for the wifes car -- 740L and one for mine 750L

When using my wifes 740L the other-day I noticed that a small roundabout in the village near us was not marked. So I stopped and tried to enter it -via the map correction screen
On my Tom 750L I go to the main menu [2 of 3] and then press the map corrections tick. This takes me to a new screen
and I press the "correct a map error".
This brings me to a new screen [1 of 3] and on the second screen [2 of 3] there is an indication to "Add or remove a roundabout"
I go in to that screen and it asks if you want to "Add or Remove roundabout"

My wifes Tom 740L don't have the add or remove facility for roundabouts.
in fact it only has at the Map corrections screen 1 of 2..

We both have the same software App. 9.058.568435
We both download the "Map corrections - made by others"

Any idea how to get the "missing screen" on the 740L

Do you know, I've had a Go940 and a Go950 for yonks and I've never noticed they were different on these menus...

Thankfully, the solution is simple...

On the Go x40, go to page 2 of 2 on Map corrections, then tap "Report other error". Then on the next menu go to the second page and you'll find "Add or remove roundabout", which then works exactly the same as on the x50.

All the same options are there on both, they are just laid out differently.

Andy, on the x50, is the Add Roundabout also in the REPORT OTHER ERROR section (where a change is not implemented in the user's map)

Thanks - got it now - entered the roundabouts OK.
But I thought they might have come down when they did map updates by others??


been scratching around all evening --
with both toms -- doing the maps..

lost faves on mine
-- but had remembered to save mapsettings file to the desk top prior to downloading the map..

now got v875.3613 on both and App9.058.568435.1 on both

hope we are now sorted.

Thanks again
Maurice

I think the corrections are very device specific. If you do a correction on your 750 with map 875 it will NOT be downloaded by your wife's 740 with the same map. So at best (if the word "best" can be used where MapShare is concerned!!), you're only getting corrections submitted by other users with exactly the same setup (GO750 with map 875), which rather reduces the impact of the TT hype about getting corrections submitted by millions of users - only TomTom get the millions of corrections!!
