 Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2009 8:15 pm Post subject: Tomtom Traffic and the A303? |
 |
|
I travelled from west London to Exeter on Friday using my 940. I usually prefer to use the A303 rather than the M4/M5 route but TT Traffic informed me it was closed.
I returned home today and decided to ignore TT Traffics warnings about the A303 because I could see no mention of a closure on the AA website. Lo and behold there was no closure and not even a sign of any roadworks.
As I write TT Traffic is showing the road as still closed for 4 miles to the east of Mere but a traffic holdup for a section in the middle of it!
Update: The delay seems to have just cleared but the road is still closed! |

TomTom's Route Planner also shows the A303 closed for 4.0 miles between Mere and A350 interchange. Looks like another A40 fiasco to me!

As the saying goes, "Ask a stupid question....." Not being an x40 user I couldn't tell them that my x40 was doing the planning wrongly. I thought they might pick up on that. It's presumably a MapShare thing (again!!), but what do I know? It's not blocked on my 920, but then I don't ever download Mapshare corrections.

Just planned a route from Sutton (near London) to Exeter on a 740 and it uses the A303 all the way. Only delay is on the M25.
Route Planner shows the same. Been fixed over night? |

Hah haaaah! I wonder if they'll give me a free x40 for being such a good little reporter?
