Closed Roads!!

[John666]

Although I have a quite recent version of the European maps on my TomTom there are still several roads that have either been closed for some years, or have been closed temporarily, but I keep getting directed to these roads. The mapping software does not keep up with this kind of information, and in some instances it tries to send me down dead ends – roads that have never gone any where!

I know this isn’t a problem as far as the mapping etc. is concerned as it re-routes as soon as I take a different road. What I don’t like is that there are speed cameras that I am not warned of until it is too late because of the time lag of redirecting. Again, this is not a problem most of the time as the roads are local to me and I am aware of the camera locations. However, this also happens in other areas where I am not familiar with the camera location.

I am sure I am not the only person who has come across this problem and I was wondering if there is any way of marking roads as closed on the TomTom. A sort of reverse POI – a PTA (Places to Avoid) would be a more accurate description.

Perhaps this could be another centralised database maintained by PGPSW, in a similar way to the Speed Camera databases.
