Why then is map wrong

[popcornpopcorn]

I have a merc ,nav teq on board,I needed to update the disc from 2004 to 2009.With the new disc i entered a location some 10 miles from where i live.I took me down a private road cul du sac told me to take an invisable road into the farm.You have made remarks about the new specs on updating of which are suposed to be much better,if thats the case then why is this bad error not on my old disc of 2004.Can you give me a phone number or address of whom i can speak to or write to.Regards John.Ps Would you know wether nav teq or Mercedes are responsible for the almost Non exsistant po is on the disc/dvd?

I'm not entirely sure I follow you...

All mapping is instantly out of date, at any point in time new roads will be being built etc so the map is only a snapshot of the time the data was added to a disc/printed.

Perhaps the NavTeq maps had a public footpath or bridleway that the Merc system treated as being an actual road?

Thanks for your replys,seems like i've made it compicated......Lets simplyfy it/Ref the route being wrong,,,,, nav took me down a wrong road,to take a road to the left which was not there OR has never been there.WHY because as i said this is the 2009 edition nav teq map,my old disc the 2005 edition does NOT have this error.IT clear to me it has been a nav teq update error.YES it is nav teqs fault NOT Mercedes.I have complained to nav teq by phone,they are just as confused as you guys.As for the very poor limited poi s that is not nav teqs fault they told me Quote" we have all the poi s you want listed on our maps but it is down to Mercedes themselves to put on what they want to" unquote.Is that better explained. Whilst online let me tell you of an other nav teq error.I recently went to Towyn North Wales,now when loading that it was taking ,me 40 miles south of north wales.I traced the route and there it was TOWYN and yet as you all know Towyn is north Wales 10 miles right of Llandadno.I checked that on the map too,and there it is,The correct Towyn, can anyone explain that kind of map error?.Thanks John
