Routing Issues

Hi All,

I have recently bought a TT920, upgraded to the new 7.15 maps.

The problem I have is that when I am going home via TT's route it keeps wanting to take me off the A2 up through Bexleyheath and on to Welling where I live. This is not the quickest way, plus all the previous versions back to TT3 went the correct way which was to go on one further exit (Blendon). Is there any way I can change this without compromising other routes that would be planned?

All replies welcome

First, set your MapShare preferences to "Ask every time" if you want to share your changes with the community.

Then find a strategic section of the route that the TomTom chooses to make one-way against you, such that the next most logical route is the one you want. Make the change in MapShare, BUT DO NOT SHARE IT WITH THE COMMUNITY!!! The rest of us don't want garbage updates that are only made for one person's convenience, especially if it has the potential to make major routing changes in an important area.

Neat idea....

Worked well enough for my aunt who lives in a gated community; TomTom kept taking her out the back way through a locked service entrance, so I helped her "block" that route in/out of the community.

Due to the surrounding geometry and intersection nodes, the gate, one-ways, and neighboring public access segments, it was a little more complicated than just making an actual "blocked road" MapShare change, but it seems to have solved the annoyance.
