I've just got a TT One XL Europe version 675 map, I'm really happy with it, just one thing that is bugging me, of the area I have driven so far petrol stations are not on the road they should be, they are quite a bit to the side. Is this just a bug with the mapping or something that can be changed?

It's not a big deal just a bit annoying sometimes to see a petrol symbol quite a way from the road.

Is this the built in Petrol POI?

Or the one that can be downloaded from this site?

The built in Fuel POI leaves a lot to be desired. To my knowledge there are 2 locations near me that are 12 years out of date, and nearly 2 miles away from the nearest actual site.

The download from this site is certainly more accurate, and getting better as Users make corrections where there are any errors.

v9 maps that Garmin still show a petrol Station near my inlaws as Bp when it's been Total for 6 years now. It also shows the same Petrol Station down a side street and one of our local ones on an estate half a mile from its actual location.

The ones here get updated by users so i'd go with them.
