Error found on new v825 map

Hi

Have just downloaded the new 825 map to One XL and found that the A350 at the village of East Knoyle in Wiltshire now goes around narrow lanes, instead of going straight on. So any HGV's or large vehicles will most likely get stuck, if following Tomtom instructions.

There will be thousands of errors on the map and if everyone was reported on this forum it would soon fill up.

This particular stretch of the A350 has been 'corrected' in the Mapshare by people so many times, the mapping has been wrong from day one. No amount of corrections will change it. I have sent messages to TomTom for years (literally). But with every 'New' map, nothing has been changed. So only update from a 'Trusted' source

Trust me, I'm an AlmostAudimettallicsilvervanman. Laughing

First picture below shows "old" incorrect mapping, with the dotted line being probably the correct line for the actual road.

Second picture shows the 825 map, indicating the more or less true course of A350, the old 810/815 map route and the now preposterous 825 map.

Apologies for the poor zoom comparison - I did try hard to get them alike. Presumably, Stuart, you've become so accustomed to this part that you do the same as I - simply give up and follow the real road until TomTom catches up. I wonder what effect it may have on good old IQ Routes.

Has anyone done a comparison of the same strech of road using both NAVTEQ and TELE ATLAS

Goto Google Maps and type in (or copy and paste)

51.07735,-2.16682

then switch to satellite view...

However my Garmin 2009 maps show the route accurately.

Yes, just ran the same exercise on a spare Garmin (200W) that we have and found exactly the same thing.

That's it then, is there anything that TT can do properly? Rubbish maps, rubbish OS, poor customer service etc

From my perspective I am not going to cut my nose of to spite my face, so to speak, but once I have had enough of my TT 540 Live I am going back to Garmin products.

..........and I certainly won't be renewing my map subscription when it expires.

DennisN,

I have never been to Europe so don't know the road.
I however was looking at the online TomTom Route Planner for the area described.

N 51.077735°, W 2.16682°

Is it just me or does the Route Planner look like it is still using the 8.15 maps as it looks more like that then how you show it on the new 8.25 maps.

I thought that the route planner could be used to check for a map changes without first having to buy the maps.
I will have to try this again in a few days and see if it changes.
Either that or it is using the new maps and my eyes are not seeing what I should be looking for.

What do you think is the online route planner using the 8.15 maps or 8.25 maps?

The Forth Road bridge in Edinburgh is STILL classed as a toll road. Been reported directly to the people concerned, and its still not been fixed. And i can't be the only person to have told them all toll roads in Scotland have gone!!

With the Google Maps version a more recent release than what we are being offered by Tomtom (99.9% sure), it should be convenient now to check Google to see if an upcoming release has the corrections you're concerned about. If the error is still in the current Google map then I would think it unlikely to be corrected in the next TomTom offering three months from now.

Hi

On the A350 East Knoyle v825 map the road shown now follows a very narrow lane , if you are in a car and meet a pedestrian on one part of it the pedestrian has to get into the hedge. The coorrect route is the middle of the three roads ,the dotted line road is the original before the road was straightened .
