How do you MapShare?

Tom59 · Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:42 pm Post subject: How do you MapShare?

I have been slightly concerned recently at comments I have read about MapShare, especially TomTom Verified ones which turn out to be rubbish.

I was hoping to post this query as a poll, but do not have permission Sad

maybe some kind mod could put it on for me? Thumbs Up

How do you use MapShare?

a) I upload and download frequently and trust it 100%

b) I upload, because I want to help, but I do not trust it enough to download.

c) I only download, because I can't be bothered doing corrections.

d) I would not touch it with a bargepole.

I would like to add a fifth alternative:

e) I upload because I want to help improving the quality of future map releases. I download map correction from MapShare, but only use my own corrections and sometimes those verified by TomTom.

It would also be interesting to know what trust level people set

Trust it 100% is a bit over the top but I do download and use all available corrections and have never had a problem.

I voted for the first option, but would not trust everything available, so I only download the 'verified' and 'submitted by many' categories.

I think 100% is a bit strong.

Since this first started, I have been using it with every setting apart from "Reported by some".
My idea was that if TomTom have verified it, or lots of people have reported it, it must be OK.
The reason that I asked for this poll is to try to make an informed decision as to whether I should use it at all, or if I do use it, should I only use TT verified reports, or am I safer using only the updates reported by many? Decisions descisions.

I agree that trusting it 100% is a bit over the top, but surely someone does??

As I wrote before none of the options in the poll corresponds to my usage. I submit map corrections to make TT/Tele Atlas aware of new road changes. I hope this will speed up the update process but who knows?

One thing that I would ask of the "I would not touch it with a bargepole" people, is to upload at least, because TomTom are also gathering information for IQ Routing.
So even if you are only going down to the supermarket, please set it as a route anyway which provides more data for TomTom to work with.
