This section has always goven me odd messages such as keep right in the middle of a motorway section. Today I found out why. Someone rapped their car into the central reservation just North of J8 today to I told TomTom to avoid the M11 hwne I was just North of J7. Every road that passed over or under the motorway, it told me to leave the motorway on. It obviously thought that every bridge was a junction.

Trying to go South from Hemel Hemsptead on the A4251 (old A41) it imagines that you cannot leave a small roundabout southbound (next to Shendish Edge) near Aspley Station.

A127 - Junction with High Road/High Road North in Laindon - known locally as the 'Fortune Of War' - this has not been a roundabout for a few years know - but is still shown as one on TT2.

A127 - Junction with A1245 - this is shown as the A130 (the new A130 opened a few months ago (that being missing is not un-expected)) - however travelling East along the A127, it directs you to turn right onto the A130 ignoring the roundabout beneath the flyover.

A130 - Travelling between junction A13 and the B1014 it infoms you to keep right/left and not to a) take the railway line and b) to not turn onto the river. Highly sensible, but not really required Wink

To be honest if Multimap can get all these new roads on quickly (they show the new A130 in its entirity) why can't TomTom?

Also do they really look at this list, and correct things? - I have my doubts.

B1014 - junction with A130 - advised to take the roundabout and first exit, rather than using the slip road, which is marked on the map. probably minor.

A507 - heading westbound from the A1 - the road is marked on the map - but bears no resemblance to the actual location of the road. The map seems to think the road is to the North, and then suddenly to the south. This is not a very new road - but after a mile or so, does get back on track.

The latter problem (the A507 one) has been complained about many times. Oddly, though I live in western Mid Bedfordshire, I haven't driven along that part of the A507 since I've had my navigation setup!

The best thing is probably to turn guidance off for a short while - then when the problem area is passed, turn it back on.

Reading to Ely, Cambrideshire - ok getting there via M4 / M25 / M11 except for spurious keep lefts and rights on M11. Coming back it tries to take you off the M11 onto the A10. Staying on the M11 it then tries to get you to exit at almost every other junction (sometimes adding 20 miles to your journey)

Wyvern Way, Derby has a spurious gap forcing you around Pullman Rd

Dreaded keep Right for about 1 mile on M11. This had been mentioned before, but suggestions of GPS signal are not correct as I had 8 sats locked on!

Not a missing place/road as such, but the standard TomTom POI entry for 'Cheddar Gorge and Caves' is a couple of miles out on the map.

1) High Wycombe A404 Easton Street right hand sharp turn back onto A40/A404 Abbey Way. Map appears to show this one way filter road correctly however it always routes you further along Easton Street (beyond the tip of and the triangle) then tries to get you to turn around and come back along Abbey Way.

2) Coming down Corporation Street High Wycombe into High Street High Wycombe. Cars can only turn left for most of the day. Similarly High Street and Church Street are bus routes only for most of the day.

3) Temple End / Frogmoor junction onto A4128 Arch Way is blocked off. Whole area has one way systems that need revising

4) A4155 Chapel Street (Marlow) junction with A4155 Spittal Street and B482 Dean Street. This is a mini roundabout not a T junction.
