 |
|
Never happened to me before. TT Go720 v 8.351 Map 830.2305
Tried to plan route from Home address in Surrey / South London to Marriott Hotel in Cardiff Postcode CF10 1EZ. Simply won't do it. Comes up as 'no route found'. Tried a couple of surrounding destination roads - same result. Tried setting location as favourite having pin pointed it on TT map - same result. The best I could do was set a destination for centre of Cardiff and it did that ok.
Strange thing - once at the hotel in Cardiff it planned a route back home no problem.
Any ideas? Just an anomaly in the map? |

It looks as if it's the map, as my 720 with the same app but 855 UK map finds a route to CF10 1EZ OK, although it does go round three and a half sides of a square to reach the destination.
Do you use Mapshare? If so maybe someone has blocked the entry to the one-way street, which would still leave you able to exit the street if you were starting on it.

I do use map share but only on the 'confirmed' setting.
Odd!!

It wouldn't be the first time a 'confirmed' Mapshare change had screwed up the map! Have you checked that there are no blocked roads?

OK - you got me. How do I do that? One thing is for sure - there were a load of road works down there.  There WAS access to the one way road the hotel was in . It was not closed. |

Just had a look at the on-line route planner and it mapped the route OK. |

I THINK if access to the road is blocked at both ends there will be a mauve dotted line along it.
Or to check if the entry to the road is blocked go to page 2 of the main menu and select Map corrections / Correct a map error / (Un)block street. Select the street by one of the shown methods, tap the street, then Done. The next screen will show each direction with an arrow if it's open or a no entry sign if it's blocked. Tapping the direction will switch Blocked to Unblocked and vice versa.

| Well what do you know. Three attempts this morning from Epsom, Chessington and Wallington didn't work. Same error as before. Works now though... |

Paul - you have lost me. What attempts? Are you saying you failed to plan a route to CF10 1EZ from those locations but now you have done it?
Looks like you have a different map to me anyway |

I tried earlier with the online planner and it also failed. It was an attempt to see if this was a problem with the "base map" rather than the MapShares which aren't included in the online planner. Earlier today i got the same 'no route found' message from the Online Planner however now the online planner works. I thought someone more knowledge might realise why your route didn't work. |

Only mauve in some colour schemes....
It's green dotted on mine. |

Thanks, Andy. I did wonder about that when I typed it!
