Grrrr!

As many have stated, the "latest" maps actually don't show newer roads that are already included with other software versions on say Tomtoms Navigator.

Its a real pain, I thought I was stepping up to the latest and greatest when I bought the 1000 series, now its beginning to look like a bad mistake.

Flagship model ?

Well the flagship model is faster, better screen etc etc, the maps should and are the same for all TomTom car products. However you are right they are about 9 months out of date which is shoddy when you think how much they charge.

Hi peeps

Just got this email from TT.

http://uk.support.tomtom.com/cgi-bin/tomtom_uk.cfg/php/enduser/doc_view.php?1=AvVK~wq3fP8W2AzDGuYe~yL~Jvsq~zn~YEOZIDr~

You gotta love the rhetoric these people come out with eh.

I will NOT be buying 'new' maps anytime soon given the negative feedback about v870 and the updating process.

Cheers

Andy

I'm downloading Europe 8.70 as we speak, but I am expecting that my main bugbear, the extensive remodelling of M4 J11 will not be included on the latest map, given that it doesn't appear on Map Insight's current maps, nor has my report even been looked at. Evil or Very Mad


Hazzamon, sadly you are going to be disappointed about M4 J11 - see page 5 of this thread:
http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=87199&start=60

The west side of the junction (going northbound) is pretty close but pity anyone trying to approach to the junction from Reading town centre....

John.


TeleAtlas have verified my reported errors for M4 J11 and say it will be fixed in the next release.

Now that is pretty quick but guess that is because it is such a busy junction (and new layout bit of a 'mare to navigate if you don't know it)

Be wary! When TeleAtlas say that the changes will be in their next release, this doesn't mean the next release of the maps by TomTom. There is still a long process required before TomTom can get the maps ready for publication to your PND.
