I have changed a couple of Mcdonalds POIs today but wondering when do they actually get changed as i have been back to the map and they are still where they where before i changed them, and do they get changed when i download them to my tomtom

Using Submit POIsfollowing the instructions it was quite easy but as yet they have not changed postion so unless i have done something wrong, also i noticed that the mcdonalds icons are now greyed out rather than red so maybe they are in progress |

The greyed-out icon means that it has been logged and is now a work in Progress and will appear in the corrected position in time.
There are a lot of POIs that are wrongly located, and for the same reason each change has to be looked at manually, before it's 'set in stone'. It all takes time.
We want it to be the best there is. ;)
And thank you for your submissions. _________________ Richard

I have looked back at your submissions and you did not change the positions. Usually I send a PM if it happens a lot but doing so adds to my workload
After moving the crosshairs to the new position you must click on the "Update Co-ordinates" button otherwise the position is not changed.

Yes you have identified the new positions correctly and I have made them active. Please continue to use the Comments box to say what changes you are making as it really does help me when reviewing. Many of the submissions that are really requesting a change of position come to me as Action: Confirm. So submitters please take a second look at the Action box before sending in the update.
