Last "were looking into it" email from TomTom was on 11th Jan. That said they addressed me as Ian so If they can't even get my name correct what hope do we have of any feedback?

Haven't heard back from Traffic Scotland either, and they acknowledged the request on 29th December so their 20 day response deadline has passed.

And they charge about £47 per annum for this (dis)service??

Whatever sources they use (mobiles/highways agency/radio/a quantity of vehicles fitted with transmitters) their data is of a very low quality for a significant proportion of the population.

I get the feeling that it is down to where you are located and roads you use whether HD traffic will be very beneficial.

Funnily I have been on a truck (main) road, the A737, testing TomTom with a friend during peak travel times about a year ago and they were the most accurate but retreiving the data using their map was so slow and hard to use that we decided it could not be used.

Since we now know that TomTom are providing data to AA, a quick look at he AA traffic map of UK shows lots of disruption in England but nothing in Scotland, Wales or NI.
Routing from Lochcarron to Stromeferry on AA website results in a trip of 11 miles and 20 minutes. The real - on road situation is that the road is closed and a diversion of 120+ miles is current. The deterioration of information accuracy continues.
I am not a member of AA - if anyone here is they might like to log a complaint about lack of accuracy?

Thanks

Had an interesting reply from TomTom...

I've asked them several times now if they use TrafficScotland and TrafficWales for traffic info and they have never replied.

On the last time of asking they have said:
"For this can I request you to please call us so that we can troubleshoot over the phone to resolve your query in the quickest and most effective way?

Sounds like whatever they have to say, the don't want to put it in writing. Confused
