Tom Tom Press release - 28th November 2006 - NEW MAPS !

Rowan29a · Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2006 10:22 am Post subject: Inaccurate maps

Never mind Rob, three years ago, I reported a street in Ripon that was sealed to through traffic anddivided into two some 25 years ago. There is even a line of mature trees right across what was the road. I have reported it again to Tele Atlas but will probably be plucking my harp before anything is done. It is those little annoyances that are ignored by Tom Tom which tend to frustrate.

Mike - can you advise me the name of the street in Ripon so I can check it on my v660 GB+IE, I can add it to my mail to TeleAtlas with all the other things I have already spotted incorrect.

Thanks
Mike

Further to my last post about the A1 around Ferrybridge having been moved on the new maps, but being unable to confirm its accuracy because I hadn't driven the route. Well I now have, and can confirm that the map (although changed) DOES NOT reflect the current road layout.

This may be a naíve question, but does anyone know if the DVD version of the Western Europe map will update more than one tomtom satnav?

The name of the road is Filey Avenue and the barrier, which is chain link fencing and a line of mature trees, is approximately 54 degrees 8' 73" North and 1 degree 32' 21.92" West. You can access Filey Avenue from Clotherholme Road but can not drive through to Bishopton Lane and vice-versa! Pedestrians can get through in a gap in the fence!

I filled in the on-line reporting tool with Tele Atlas and got an e-mailed receipt so you nevfer know.....!

Hello all - I have searched about but not found this particular question answered.

I have a TT GO 700 purchased summer 2005 and am considering the maps update.

Is there much point in getting the UK & Ireland update only and if I did would I loose the Western Europe maps (or would I have space for both)?

I suppose it's only £20 difference but still curious to know.

Thanks for any help.

Mike
On the latest GB+IE v660 maps just purchased you can still travel from say number 16 Clotherholme Road to number 44 Bishopstone Lane in Ripon and it takes you via Filey Avenue.

Suggest you report it again.

On a more positive note, I have checked an error I reported where it advised me to join the M25 via an emergency services only road and that was at least fixed.

Mike

Mike37. I reported it to Tom Tom three years ago via their web site and got an acknowledgement. I did not realise at the time that you could report direct to Tele Atlas. Hopefully this will be updated in the next set of maps. It does not cause me problems but anybody new to the area............... Rolling Eyes

Incidentally, where on the Tele Atlas site can you find out if a problem has been fixed. Been going round in circles looking for it! Embarassed
