if you want to have a look on your tomtom the road is Carrington Rd
Hamilton, Leicester

if you bought the map from ebay then it'll either be someone's OLD map or a pirated one. either way it's an old map!

you should be able to tap the signal-strength meter and see the software and map versions on there.

Some parts of maps are always well out of date, and others not. Where I live, a recent housing estate has appeared on the map in my 740, but I was driving in Derby a week ago and the map has a large roundabout which was obviously changed a while ago as there is a big building there now and it was all rather confused. They are just patchy.

Just in case - did you just buy an SD card off ebay and then copied your map across from a backup (which is perfectly acceptable), or buy the SD card with the map already on it?

By the way, I can't see Carrington Road on either Google or Streetmap so it doesn't look like it's been added yet. Main routes do appear to be added quicker than residential areas.

Yes the place is a residential area. What i do find strange is that the maps have got wainwright ave on it and carty road to, and i'm the road in the middle of them!! Laughing

Anyway i just hope that when i'm going to some new wierd place that the road is actually on the tt or i'll end up going nuts! I hate being lost!

its the tt710 that i've got...

Carrington Rd Hamilton, Leicester isn't recognised in map version 815.2003 which is the most recent version for x20 devices.
