just got Tom Tom nav 6 on my pda. i am very dissapointed with the maps that are supposed to be updated, well i can tell you they are still crap.

I live in Stevenage and the maps have not got most of the new roads that have been built 2 yrs ago.

Another example today was that i was going to Heathrow airport terminal 4 exiting off the M25 and it still tells me to exit onto airport way A3113 but you have to exit before that where it says exit for terminal 5/4.
you would of thought that a major road like that would have been corrected from the previous maps.

Dont get me wrong i like Tom Tom but issues like this just pee me off.

I don't really think it matters what map version you use because TT maps seem to be going backwards
I use map version 562 shows Jcn 2 M2 coadtbound exit correctly
I have seen v605 and v632 both showing a slip road that was removed when the new bridge was finished which is not on v562. if you follow their directions you would end up having to go to J3 and come back again 8-10 mile detour

Which route are you putting into it
If you try anywhere towards london and route to roman way it continues on the motorway and turns left onto a slip road that does not exist.
It should go down the off ramp right at the r/about then left at r/about and left again.
this is correct on v562 but wrong on 605 and 632

I have 605 and it's not got the "new" A!/M62 interchange near Ferrybridge which has been there for at least 2 years.

Sorry didnt reply before now but not getting notifications when someone reples. I've since purchased TT6 and they've still not got it right near ferrybridge. The new M62/A1 interchange is about 200 yards out for about half a mile then it comes right. The M62 junction at Goole has been a roundabout for over 2 years now but it's still shown as a slip road!!
Oh well, they're getting there :D

I've managed to get POI extend working, it only lets you change 12 sounds so I've left off a couple

It sucks.... TTN6 is well out of date... very disappointing. From the M62/a1 junction northbound its all off till you get to the M1/A1 junction. Thats a fair few miles. I was expecting TTN6 to be up to date not just a software re-mash.

The problem is they give a date for the maps but this is just the maps that they have on this date and not all roads that existed on this date.

Now I don't expect the maps will ever be totally upto date but think the following system would be much better and TomTom could even make a small charge for the updates.

You buy the TomTom software.
You then download the latest maps.
You then pay a reasonable subscription charge that allows you to download incremental updates for the maps.
