|
|
Hi all and Seasons Greetings.
I have asked this before but wonder if anyone has come up with a solution. Here is Australia, the tomtom maps that have been produced, have their road sections too large for accurate speed limit changing. that is, when I go to correct a speed limit, there may not be a nearby intersection and you have to rely on how tomtom have broken up the affected road, with the general result that their road section is no where near where you want to correct a speed limit.
Has anyone worked out a way around this problem??

you have to take it to the nearest point to where the speed changes , so you go to edit and adjust the it to either to far or or before the speed limit (which ever is the nearest to the change)it's not perfect but that's how it works even for us here in the uk
I do wish they would bring out a poi to poi that would make it a lot more sense as sometimes they do overlap by a large distance which can be annoying
hope this helps _________________ TomTom 5001 |

It is annoying. Obviously when they create the maps, there is a process they use to add these points/breaks in the roads. Why cant the process be used post map release, to add a point where a speed limit changes, a fresh point/break.

That would be an ideal solution to speed limit changes.
I have only been to Australia once (back in 1995) and I remember driving through a hamlet (only two or three houses) where the speed limit changed from the national speed limit to the town limit via a number of step-down speed limit changes. Once I'd driven past the houses the speed limit rose back via a number of speed limits. The road was straight and it would have been impossible to have correctly marked the speed limit changes using the current TomTom method, a poi to poi system would have made it possible to have recorded the speed limits.
