 |
|
Hi everyone
When I unblock a street which should be two way my TT1005 says the map has been changed,but still when I plan a route it will not use the unblocked street.  any ideas do I have to do anything else.Also the latest map v865 has mistakes which have been changed for at least a year |

It might be worth just rechecking that you have all segments changed over by going to the largest magnification and working your way along from the 'start' junction to the 'end' junction and ensure all segments are there. |
Cheers mate I will check that  |

Two things...
1. Can you give the exact location of an example (pref. Lat/Long coordinates, but a town and road name will do) so that someone else can try it? As JaTe says, there could be something subtle another pair of eyes might spot.
2. You say this is on a Go1005. Well we know that Mapshare corrections are not being uploaded or downloaded for the new models yet. Maybe there's an unreported problem with YOUR OWN corrections on the machine itself too. |

Hi thanks for your replies,
Both In London, Brixton Road into Brixton hill you can go straight across thou it always sends me up Effra road and right into St Matthews road then left into brixton hill.
Also cannon street in the city heading westbound across Queen Victoria street into Cannon street still sends me up friday street.
Hope this helps. |

You won't be able to correct this as the underlying Map Data is wrong (using 865 map). The transition from Dual Carriageway to Single is incorrect.

Are you saying that you should be able to drive straight over this junction?
Google Maps and StreetView show it as a One Way System. Are they incorrect now?

You mean this route?
If so, I'm confused...Has that changed since I lived there?
What I remember (and Google Streetview still shows) is that going south along Brixton Road, you ARE sent left onto Effra Road because the church is in the way and Brixton Hill is one-way Nothbound at that point - the oncoming traffic here:

Following on from Oldboy's reply... Again, Google directions agree with TomTom. you bear left at the split then go right up Friday St
Tricky junction to see in Streetview but there is definitely hatching on the road stopping you veering to the right.

Yeah, but you got your answers in while I was still faffing around with screen grabs! 
For example #2 I blame that bloke with no legs!
Weird thing is, with a name like "cab man uk" the OP sounds like a professional driver, so I'd tend to trust his opinion.
Or does he drive a black cab that goes where it likes! |

I thought that all black cab drivers consider SatNav devices to be spawn of the Devil...

1. As I said not much you can do with this, except report it.
2. You might get some joy with this if you use Map Corrections, and zoom right in to the junction. On Cannon St there are 3 arrow heads, 2 EB and 1 WB. Select the middle one and unblock that to make it available to 2 way traffic. There are several small segments either side of it that will need unblocking also. That should help there.
Is Queen Victoria St still 1 way at the crossover, or has that changed as well?
