Mapshare Corrections Working?

3GGG · Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 11:09 am Post subject:

I have asked the question Andy.

One thing I notice is that I recently reported the change of TOLL status on the Forth and Tay road bridges and they still have not been changed by the Map Share downloads. I can't believe that I am the only person to report this. I do have my prefs set to accept changes by 'many'.

I don't think "Toll" status is one of the things that can be changed via Mapshare in its present form, only reported.

On v7 maps and software, only the things on page 1 of the corrections pages can actually be altered on the map (i.e. block a road in one or both directions, change a road's name and add or edit a built-in POI).
Everything else is just treated as a report for possible future inclusion in a new map version (for you to buy).

On the new v8 maps you can also change the road speed limit in sections, which at least shows they are trying to widen MapShare's usefulness.

Thanks for the clarification Andy.

Is it of any significance that (so far as I'm aware) my 99999 corrections do not include a single POI? I do not accept any at all, I do not have any at all selected, I do not submit any at all. Zilch.

Probably not, assuming the counter is just broken.

Any reason why you don't have any POIs selected. Even if you don't use them, isn't the spirit of adventure enough? Laughing

Would be interesting to see what happened if you made sure your corrections were right up to date, then ticked all the boxes and updated again....

dhn, just did a little Mapshare download here at work and I have a "TomTomMapPatches" file but no TomTompoipatch file, so no POI downloads for me this time but as I say, they might have happened yesterday at home.

Did anyone else who got a big download yesterday get a 'TomTompoipatch' file in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp?

Also had a MapShare download of 0.3MB at 13:05 but no POI update. Counter now up to 94,261 map corrections.

I do get very small updates each time I connect, but I put that down to them adding small changes, maybe not?

I received 8 MapPatches
5.5MB, 5.6MB (after I turned on more POIs),32KB,16KB,4KB,4KB,4KB, then later in the day 116KB

Same here.
I always get tiny extra downloads if I update after more than a few minutes.
