When I corrected it on #6 and #7, I only selected ONE point and it subsequently routed me right through there.

It took me 4 sections to unblock the road. 
Why can't the damn thing be consistent?

Right ... I have 710. The 2plus GB took me 150 minutes on a 2MB (all I can get in the sticks) download.
NB. It slows it down if you are using the bandwidth for something else.

There are 3 short sections blocked northbound from "TT Verified" Mapshare update. |
I had it showing blocked.
I've unblocked it again, but only had to do *two* sections |
Blocked on mine but only had to do one the lower section on the north carriage way, now clear from Winchester to M40.

My new map v710 finished downloading at 1:30am and doesn't have the A34 blocked. Is that because it hasn't had the update or because it has?

After half an hour, I reconnected and downloaded updates. A34 blocked!!!. To unblock it I only had to unblock one section.

You mean to say you had to download the updates in order to get it blocked so that you could unblock it? You need to get out more.

The thing is though, How can anybody trust TomTom now they have proved that mapshare can not be trusted even on major roads ?  |

Still blocked according to TT verified. Perhaps they are going to send someone out to personally check that the block should not have been put there. 
I had to unblock 5 sections. Any advance on 5?

This is sad - laugh ruefully or weep bitterly??
So last night, PGPSW issued the latest camera updates. Yesterday I eventually got #7 loaded and working with map 710. So this morning I have downloaded and installed the new cameras (two devices, being a Verifier I do more messing than most people, so it took me all of 15 minutes - any chance of getting our guys to take charge of the TomTom downloads to cut them down to, say, an hour?). As usual, whilst connected, I clicked Update my GO and received whatever map updates. And the B**** A34 got closed again!! This time, it took me at least three unblocks to get it back to OK. So later, I connected again to upload those corrections AGAIN and damned if it didn't block the thing again. Another multi unblock exercise!!!
I drive a lot of miles, to destinations at all points of the compass. If this stupid blocking is widespread, it's going to give me a lot of pain. Like I said before, I was a bit surprised last week when it didn't route me up the A34 (but pleased because I always avoid it for that direction), but how will I ever know the Axx is a daft blockage, not a genuine diversion? I can understand local changes will never be totally accurate, and new roads will take time to appear on maps. But blocking major arteries like this is on another planet.

Couldn't agree with you more DennisN.
I could be in Cornwall one day then Scotland the next. I upgraded from TomTom 1v2 to the 720 just because of the mapshare, Only to find i cant trust TomTom to release pucca alterations to their maps.
