Map correction question

Hectorsgaf · Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 5:03 pm Post subject: Map correction question

Just entered a correction into the TT920 to show that there is no right turn allowed from Road A into Road B . Havevn't even looked at using Mapshare etc yet but I then ran a planned route demo and it still tells me to turn right at this junction. I was hoping it would stop doing this after the correction so am I asking too much of it?

That is not yet one of the changes you can make yourself (although it will be in the v8 firmware) The best you can do is record it in Other corrections and send it in next time you connect to TomTom Home. Hopefully TomTom will pass it on to TeleAtlas for it to be included in the next map issue.
It might be worth while for you to send it to TeleAtlas yourself

The way Mapshare works at the moment (WHEN it works at all!) only the corrections on the FIRST menu page will show up on your map and be shared with others. All the others on the subsequent pages are merely REPORTED to TomTom to do with as they wish (i.e sell them back to you in a later map version).
As such, Mapshare does a lot less than the advertising hype leads you to believe, but it's actually very carefully worded....

Well I have had a look at Mapshare and it says my map corrections are 29 weeks out of date and that there are 18951 corrections to download. Doesn't matter what I do this 'warning' with the little red light keeps coming back.

As LOTS of other posts here say, there have been big problems with TomTom's Mapshare downloads for the last few weeks.

However, you may now be able to trigger them to start for you by doing this... (it's a known fix, but didn't work for me when I tried it a couple of days ago... today it did!

In Home v2, go to Tools /Mapshare/Remove corrections.
Tick ONLY "Corrections made by other people or verified by TomTom" (unless you haven't made any yourself, in which case tick both).

Then try updating again.

In case it still doesn't work, make sure you have a recent backup, so you can put them back again.

What you did should work on your 920 (does on my 520) regardless of mapshare.

When I go into Mapshare preferences, no countries are shown as being available. Is that right?

Thanks, puts the mind at rest. At least I know it is not just me.
I suppose there is not much point in moaning to Tomtom is there?
Or is it the more the better?
