No route to Nottingham

In all fairness, Brennan at TT has contacted me and agrees that I am right and he is going to sort out the Brighton error. Guinness

Hi all,

I read this long post about problems with map corrections and Nottingham, I saw the bit about "turn them off" but I have a TT730 (v8.30) and in the user manual it says.

1. Tap Map correction on main menu
2. Tap Correction preferences
A list of update types will be show

OH NO IT DOES NOT! I get a "trust level" silder and it's set to strict there are no options to turn off map correction!

Can anyone help with this?

Connect to PC and run HOME.

In Tools | TomTom Map Share | Remove Corrections

Is that what you want?

Don't even try to drive into central Nottingham without a local to navigate you as the trams, pedestrianisations, road works and altered one-way systems are impossible!

Just park at Hucknall and take the tram like other people. (If you can find space!)

Come on people! Let's not slag Sheffield and Nottingham just so easily. I'd prefer to go there than London. And much rather than Milton Keynes where post codes take you to within half a mile or so then abandon you to the mercy of all those grid roads which look exactly alike. When I get a delivery there, I pray for a delivery address phone number - last time I phoned it and the guy came walking out to find me and he agreed I'd never have found him! For example, North Ninth Street, Lower Ninth Street and South Ninth Street - I ask you!!

Where I work (Nottingham) we often have customers and delivery drivers saying their sat navs (tom tom?) have taken them to another road with the same name about 5 miles away.

After checking mine It appears that if you navigate by postcode with no street number it takes you to the correct location, if you then add a number it takes you to the wrong area which has a different postcode, but this road has a number the same as where I work.

It would appear that tom toms default to street numbers and ignores post codes.

I have been bitten several times here in the states by the Tom Tom "no route found" problem. They could easily fix this and even be in the handheld market with a minor change in the programming to eliminate this "no route" problem. The fact that the TomTom program ignores destinations not directly served by roads is a shame. I was hoping that it would serve as a back up for other nav sources. It would be quite easy for the "walk" option to provide direct routes to a destination not served by auto assessable roads, one way, closed or even non existent roads. A warning could even be used like, destination not served by usable roads, proceed direct. The direct could be 50 yards or 500+ miles.

The most logical way would be to provide a "direct" option. This would allow use in hiking, off road biking, off road motoring, boating and even flying.

Does anyone see a work around to allow direct nav?

I used itinerary planning on mt TT XL Live to plot a route from Ebreuil in France (in the Auvergne) to Calais via several wayoints, well over 300 miles) and it could not find a route.

I then converted all the waypoints into destinations and used TT to travel to Calais stopping the night at each destination. It then found a route without any problem.

Can the "no route" problem be something to do with the length/complexity of the route?

I think all that causes it is the fact that the destination or an intermediate point (my 130 doesn't have the itinerary function) is not served by roads in the data base. Interestingly, the initial point in the route doesn't have to be on a road in the DB. In that case the machine seems to either direct you to a road or simply wait until you get there. It should go as close as it can if the point is a destination but it doesn't.

Try a similar length route with addresses in the DB for the final point and no intermediate points. Incidentally, ferry routes are in the DB.

Seems an easy thing to fix/avoid to me...
