In a part of East KIlbride, Near Glasgow, I enter Larchlap drive, where my friend lives and nothing is found.
When i'm at his house outside on the main road I enter ther position as a favourite place and it comes up with Brimmond Road? Which does not exist in East Kilbride.

Any Ideas or Solutions?

I can understand some road names not being there, like mine, because there is no actual road outside my house but the two roads leading to the street i live in are fine _____my street_____ is entered into by an east and west Cul de Sac.
So thats fine but the names of my friends house confuse me, its not like its new, they have been around for about 4 years.

This is sounds like a TeleAtlas issue. There are large parts of London for instance which have roads incorrectly named. This is evident on other software using TeleAtlas data.

It would be worth sending the incorrectly named roads to TeleAtlas so that they can amend their records.
Hopefully some time this century they will correct their mistakes Evil or Very Mad

Hmmmm,

Agreed mostly Teleatlas problem, but just check that the local NLPG is upto date. Scotland is ahead of England (again), but check with the local authority
