 |
|
I have noticed lately that going from Southend to London via the A127, there is a major error on the map where it tried to direct you via a road ABOVE! Also, it seems to have problems directing me to the A130?!?
anyone know how this can be sorted? not impressed with this at all considering the price paid. if i have found an error so close to home, how do i rely on it for long journeys? |

I don't think it will ever be error free, and when using the TomTom local, I get mad at some of the ways it take me, when I know its taking me the long way around

Hi leeppp222
If you are talking about the "roundabout" at the junction of the A130 and the A127, I informed Teleatlas of this error 18 months ago and the still have done nothing about it.

They may only change it after so many reports of the error in the map before they take action, so its no harm others doing the same thing

Even if TA correct it ... eventually ... this could take forever to filter through into a TomTom release.
They may just ignore this user input, its just there to make the customer feel good.
e.g. there a roundabout near me since 1981 and TA maps still think its got one more exit than it really has. Navteq have it correct. |

And there's a road near me that hasn't been open to traffic for over seven years but Navteq still routes you through it. Teleatlas has it but correctly shows that it's not useable by cars. Neither company is ever going to be perfect.
