A1(M) MapShare Blocked North of Disforth (A168) Southbound

PaulB2005

Can anyone with MapShare please check the A1(M) above Dishforth where the A168 joins it? 2 sections where marked on the southbound carridgeway this weekend as blocked Northbound and Southbound. I still went through this section as it was open. I have now corrected it and submitted it back to TT but would like to

a) warn other road users
b) check the section has been corrected since i previously updated on Saturday

This was with MapShare set to Trusted and TomTom verified....

I wonder which source TomTom used to verify this closure of a major road within the UK, possibly a crystal ball or could it have been the BBC again?? - Mike

Now just remind me please :-

Who was it who said that the moment you enable Mapshare and start downloading them, you start to degrade your map and performance?

And who was it said that TomTom have come a long way since the mistakes with A40 in London, M40 at Warwick, A303 at Mere, et al, and they don't do it any more?

I give in. Question too hard. Who was it?

I dunno, I just remember that I believed one of them and didn't believe the other one.

I would be interested to see what TTs explanation is of that, even as a TT fan myself, I think something has gone awfully wrong in the Mapshare process for a major Motorway to be blocked by Mapshare!

Hopefully, anybody who has this blocked on their TT units can unblock it and sent it back to TT asap!

I`ll send the relevant people a message to see how this has happened!

I believe the co-ordinates of the affected road are from N 54.15336, W 1.43929 up to N 54.17309, W 1.45265!

It seems the road has been closed for roadworks, but I do not think that this is what mapshare was envisaged for! There must have been numerous mapshare reports of the 'road closure' for it to make a correction based on it!

Anyhow Dennis, it has been reported directly to TT now! Smile

Back in the good old days, the demonstration of Mapshare on the TT website was of a guy driving along and he came to some roadworks. Stopped like every good road user and tapped the closure into his map and off he went. Rather indicating that mapshare could be used for roadworks. There's also a hint on the submission screens somewhere regarding Permanent, Yes or No. Not being the world's greatest Mapshare contributor, I've never tried a NO submission, so I don't know if it asks if there is any known time limit. I suppose it does. Or maybe it doesn't?

Anyway, when I first found mapshare, it indicated it was also for use with roadworks.
