 |
|
Hi, I'm new to all this GPS nav stuff, but have taken the leap with a TomTom Go 300.
Firstly a HUGE thanks PocketGPSworld for the excellent cmaera database, and to the author(s) of the articles on how to install it. I did mind before it even went into the car, and it works really well.
My question is, is there a way to report errors in Maps / the way routes are calculated? I was on a route that should have taken me along the M6 south through Birimingham all the weay to the M1. Instead, at the junction wiht the M42, the TomTom took me off on to the M42 south and tried to tell me to cross over to the M6 Toll Southbound. (anyone familiar with this area will be able to tell you that there is a rather large concrete wall separating the two motorways at this point that makes this a little hard!)
It seems to me that the map treats these two roads as one at this point, despite the fact they run parallel but separatey, any way to report it as an error?
Other than that the Go seems great. |

You can follow this link to report to TeleAtlas.
Note that you will have to chose Great Britain for the country to get the necessary product pick list.

I didn't know the new TomTom's where able to Drive the Vehicle as well
I always thought the DRIVER was in controll of the vehicle, and had the final say.

It's a democratic thing, but the driver has the casting vote.' '

Fair cop, aloow me to clarify, I exited the M6 and drove along the slip road IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS SUGGESTED BY MY TOMTOM GO 300.............
Its a good job that the TOMTOM can't drive, as I have a feeling the concrete wall would have won in a contest against by car.......
Thanks for the help guys. |
