720 Map Correction

There is a road near where I live which is listed by TomTom as a one way street. In fact traffic can go in either direction. There doesn't appear to be any way to remove the one way setting. The nearest option I can find is to reverse the direction. Things are complicated somewhat by the fact that there is a section of the road further up which is one way.

If you want to see what I mean the road in question is Hengist Road, Erith. The section between Brook Street and Penda Road (leading into Collindale Ave.)

I've reported it under the ReportOther Error/Other but I was wondering if there is a way to correct it and I'm just not finding it. It's only a small section of residential road so it's not a major problem - it's just one of those things that's been bugging me.

In "Map corrections", you should have "(Un)block street"

This will enable you to correct the map for bi-directional traffic (uni-directional, or no traffic)

Additionally, by using "(Un)block street", this will immediately update the map on your device.

When/if you submit the correction to TomTom is entirely down to you and won't influence the behaviour of your device.

Incidentally, MapShare corrections are model and map version specific, so if you update your map before the correction has filtered through the system you're likely to have to repeat the correction

Many thanks Andy. I didn't associate "Unblock" a street with removing the one way designation. All done now.

Like so many other things - it's easy when you know how, but not necessarily obvious when you don't
