M6 Toll not there?

I am using tomtom navigator 3.03 and I noticed that the new M6 toll motorway is not on the map so every time I cross it it thinks I am driving in the forest!

When do they update their maps?

The lack of M6 toll road has caused quite a bit of discussion. See this thread in TomTom forum. It should be included in next update which will probably be out this year.

it is the same for the new link road around wetherby on the a1, although that has only just opened....

I doubt the A1(M) around Wetherby will be included in the new release. It only opened a couple of weeks ago. I would imagine if TomTom are going for an April release the maps are already locked in by now.

Indeed - it takes a finite amount of time for the mapping companies to map the roads, and I believe TeleAtlas only release new maps to their customers every six months now.

I wouldn't think the new A1(M) at Wetherby will appear in any TeleAtlas products released much before late September or October, though I may be surprised.

Can you confirm were exactly the A1(M) runs around wetherby?

SmartSTv3 is showing the A1(M) running from the East of Wetherby just North of the B1224 and running parallel to the A1 up to Walshford.

So the stretch of the A1(M) that I quoted, is this the new bit or has it been there for a while?

That particular stretch is not in AutoRoute 2005 and is shown as under construction on www.map24.com

It's only been open for about three weeks.

In that case I am quite surprised to find that it is on the v3 maps with SmartSTv3.

Usually new roads take months to appear. Maybe this is a sign that TeleAtlas are finally getting their act together.

shame there isnt a program that will allow you to load the map in and "paint" the new road on yourself.
