Help with 720 map driving error

tomtom7xx · Occasional Visitor Joined: May 05, 2010 Posts: 6

Hi

need some advice, updated my TomTom 720 and all ok at first, now it is showing right hand drive in UK, tries to route you right around roundabouts.

Any ideas ?

Welcome to the forum.

"Right hand drive" may be a red herring. Dual carriageways are mapped as two one-way carriageways next to each other and roundabouts are one-way carriageways that wraps back around on themselves.

Is it just one roundabout it is doing this for? I've seen dodgy mapshare changes go through that makes roundabouts two-way or 'wrong-way'. Confused

When at a roundabout it tries to route round to the right and at dual carriageways it shows to route down the right hand side.

Motorway seems fine

OK this is weird.

What application version and map are you using? On the main screen, tap the strength bar in the bottom right and you'll see the application version in it's own box about 2/3 down on the right side. Then tap that box and it will give loads of info including the map (eg Western Europe). What is the full map name and version?

Could you also let us know where you are seeing the problem. Someone else may have the same version and can test. Also, which screen(s) are you seeing this on?

You say you updated the 720. What did you update (application / map? Did you change anything else? Was it OK before the upgrade?

Finally, have you made a backup either before or since the upgrade? See question #1 on the FAQ.

Sorry about all the questions but I really can't understand how it could happen.

I bet Gerry has this one right - I'd go with MapShare myself. That roundabout is correct (clockwise) on my map 845.2645. I daren't download mapshare corrections to test it though! It's at N53.423983, W-2.851995 if any brave soul cares to give it a try. Maybe tomtom7xx you'd like to disable your Mapshare corrections and try again without using them?

PS - is Navcore 9.051.503855.2 right for a 720? Thought latest is 8.351?

Cheers guys, will disable mapshare.

Also will test again on way home tonight and check if this is a bigger problem, will check on a couple of roundabouts and dual carriageways.

Dennis is correct. The proper (though buggy) application for the 720 is 8.351. Running any other application may lead to strange behaviour and I think the observations by the OP are evidence of that.
