Mapshares are disappearing!!

GPS_fan · Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2008 5:31 pm Post subject:

I've just restored my 720 with a clean install of the map, installed MapShare updates.

Initially, it was showing 101,000 corrections in use, but as soon as I'd looked at the MapShare preferences, Home must have obtained settings from the device and reduced it to 65,000.

I'm consistently seeing the number change in relation to MapShare/Trust Level preference changes, although I'm open to alternative suggestions.

From what users have reported it seems possible that when a device is first connected to Home 2.4 it removes the previous corrections, or at least those that would require a less strict level of trust than the new default setting in Home.

Bingo.......I think you may have nailed it!!

But as GPS_fan has said, it looks as though the two settings are interactive, so it may be best to check from time to time that both Home and the device are using the settings you want them to.

Can anyone advice on a location where I can download the previous Home version (v2.3). The MapShare bug in v2.4 is still preventing me from downloading new map corrections. I wonder why

problem only hits some of us....

Things keep getting weirder. After rolling back to version 2.3.1.92, Home tells me there are 34796 MapShare map corrections waiting to be downloaded. But when I select "Update my GO" I am told that my device is up-to-date and no updates are to be found. How weird isn't that????

Can somebody try to persuade me that map corrections are worth downloading? I have yet to hear an argument that convinces me. I'm coming from the background of the A40 closure and the 29/39mph speeds and a 20mph national speed limit dual carriageway of the A4 eastbound into Bath on my nice new v810 maps.

Because I want to.

If there is a new speed limit, it saying 39 instead of 40 doesn't bother me in the slightest as I realise that speed limits in this country won't be 39, so I can suss that it means 40. I have driven for many years without one of these things, and being able to read the speed limits helps.

If someone suggested to me through an electrical aid that the A40 was shut then using my common sense I would probably like to check it myself, and then finding it wasn't closed would carry on with my journey, and if I had the ability to change the information in my device I probably would do that, then after the first time I would have very little to whinge about.

I reckon I would also realise that a 20mph dual carriageway would be wrong and would change it myself back to what I knew it to be, then next time I went down that road it wouldn't happen again, and again no further whinging would take place.

If you don't feel it is something you can trust, can rely on or whatever then you choose not to use it.

I use it (the TT) to allow me to get to where I am going and so if someone else is trying to help me (through MapShare) get there then that is ok by me, also I have no interest in how to get somewhere as long as I get there in the time frame that I have chosen, and with my TT it tells me a time, after it has decided a route, that time has included all these MapShares and so if they are a crock and I, through whatever method, decide to go along a different route then I can look at my little helper and it will say what time I am supposed to get there and it will still hopefully be within a quarter of an hour of the initial time stated and if it isn't then such is life Very Happy

I use Mapshare because I can and because I want to.

Not to mention those who maliciously submit erroneous 'corrections' to prevent their road attracting too much traffic.

Plus, the A40 should never have appeared as a MapShare correction, because MapShare submissions are supposed to be for PERMANENT corrections
