but why should WE do TomTom's job and, in effect, verify map updates which we may never have seen in person?

Just because one person posts a correction on here and we all submit it en-mass does NOT mean it is correct, neither would the masses know.

In effect, you're saying that each and every submission is correct and does not require verification by visiting the location in person. On this basis, PGPSW ought to simply accept EVERY camera submission by default, which would immediately invalidate the database.

The focus ought to be on VERIFICATION and QUALITY of data - compare their speed cameras against the PGPSW and you'd soon see they simply haven't got it right.

Well I can see your point, however in cases where TomTom/Teleatlas are actually going to have to do a re-map of the area (missing roads etc) I see no harm. And that is what we have done with the 2 or 3 errors recently that several of us have submitted. TomTom will verify it themselves when they do a proper re-map.

Your suggestion still has a major assumption that "WE" are submitting correct data for something which we have never seen. So, if "WE" blindly follow like sheep and submit incorrect data, the map will be incorrect whether it is a new road or trying to update an existing road.

A million submissions of the same data does not make that data correct and, IMHO, EVERY submission should be verified by TT/TeleAtlas regardless.

In my profession, verification of data is essential and lives depend on it and, frankly, it is simply sloppy of these map producers not to verify and update their maps ACCURATELY. It is a sorry state of affairs when Ordnance Survey have produced ACCURATE maps for decades whilst the digital map producers can't get it right.

Hi,

Parent's have a fairly new VIA 120 Europe, of which they haven't as yet updated their map via the LMG. I notice however they all the MyTomtom is offering under LMG is the previous 865 map.

Is this right?. Sure LMG should always offer the latest map until such time as the owner makes use of the LMG offer, or the LMG period expires?

Thanks

Iain.

I have indeed submitted 2 errors which people on here highlighted. I submitted them to Teleatlas and they are not corrections they can fix without looking at the problem themselves (as I've ALREADY SAID).

Both are on OS maps and OpenStreetMap.

Just had a load of email from TeleAtlas saying that the changes to the maps I made back in DEC 2008 have been ACCEPTED and should be included on the 9/11 versions of the maps...

Click HERE to see one of my changes.
