New GB Map Errors!

I like your idea of removing the road but that could cause problems if you only wanted to remove part of it.

All you would need to do is drive down the new road to get the points because the unit would know where exactly you were. Press the 'start' button when you leave the road it already knows about and then press 'stop' when you reach the next road it knows about. Okay you might not get the finer detail but at least it could then use that road as an option.

What do you reckon?

Just bought myself a nice shiney new Tomtom One

Only to find my 12 year old house doesn't exist and a large chunk of the A10 (my prefered route into London) is missing. I had a look at the map dates on the memory card and they are 28/8/05 8O . Logged an email support call with Tomtom to only get the reply that I will have to contact them in writing as my 'problem' cannot be resolved using email. I'm certain that the AA wouldn't sell me a 2005 road atlas in a 2006 cover Crying or Very sad

Does anyone with a new TomTom (910 etc) know if the new A5 to Tamworth that runs alongside the old A51 is on the newer maps? Always slightly annoying when you go down this road and it thinks you're driving through a field!

I bought a TT500 a couple of weeks ago, and I'm pretty p****d to be honest. I live in Bristol, and there's a lot of roads (changed 1 way systems, non-existant roundabouts, badly labelled roads etc) I've encountered already that changed over 3 years ago, which aren't on the map.

I'm absolutely incensed that if I want an up to date map to go with my new TT, I'll have to pay through the nose for it, even though I've only just shelled out for a TT500. And now I read on this thread that even the brand new maps are 2 years out of date.

There's a consumer law in this country called 'fit for purpose'. This means that the item has to do what it says on the box. Despite all the disclaimers tucked away on the website, TT are screwing their customers, and getting a bad rep in the process.

But as there are only two mapping companies serving ALL the sat nav manufacturers, you are goiing to find similar problems with whatever else you try.

Totally agree with mrgubby's and 8ball's points there.
TT still refuse to put map versions on their webshop pages too Evil or Very Mad
