You don't have to follow the route suggested by TomTom

Here's another one to try - from N52.45239, W1.85262 to N52.45209, W1.85318. It's a distance of about 50 yards, but will TomTom find the direct route? Not a chance. It doesn't appear to be a Mapshare issue.

Neither points appear to be on a road on the submission map. The first one is just north of the A41 Warwick road.
EDIT:-My mistake. Mistyped the co-ords 
2nd Edit. IGO goes all round the houses as well  even if you reverse the route, so it's not a one way street map error

That is very true......
But then there are those people who follow the Sat-Nav religiously, and normally get stuck in a caravan down a country lane...

Tried driving this route again, and as soon as I "ignored" the direction to turn left through Weldon and went Straight on at the roundabout, my TT IMMEDIATELY re-calculated the route...................
Straight down the A43....!!!
