Tomtom 810 map routes vs 725 map

[BAZZA77]

Anyone noticed that the routes which your tomtom takes you are different on the 725 map and the 810 map.i have western europe v810 and my friend has western europe v725.we plot the same routes in the tomtoms and they take you different routes.it has nothing to do with iq routes as its turned off.another friend has got uk v725 and it does the same as western europe.the v810 map plots the route right at 3.2 miles,but the 725 maps goes another way and its 3.4 miles.cant get the 725 map to go the shortest way,they where both set on fastest routes.has the v725 maps got a fault? Try it yourself plot in 9 carlaw road birkenhead uk, to number 3 alwen street birkenhead.the 810 map takes you the right way storton road etc,while the v725 map takes you down woodchurch road wetstone lane etc.this is just one route that the v725 map up.

they might have tweaked the routing again

Or maybe there are mapshare corrections influencing the routing? Speed limit changes and/or roads blocked/unblocked?

Just done a comparison of the routes using V720 map and 810 and the routes are identical (V720 on a PDA, 810 on a 720 - IQ routing was on BTW)

Haven't got a 7.25 map to try I'm afraid.

Im a bit dubious about you comparing a v7.20 map and a v8.10 map because they are not based on the same mapping data.

v7.25 and v8.10 are based on the same mapping data, so comparing v7.20 and v8.10 is almost like comparing apples with pears!

Its got nothing to do with map updates,ive checked even if i set the v725 map to go up storeton rd,it still goes the long way around.Iam a taxi driver on the wirral and my friend uses v725 all the time and he said the v725 map take him some very strange ways.

On my 7.25 map it's 3.2 miles.

It sounds like his unit has a correction set on it.

I haven't noticed any difference in the maps themselves but I also found that 8.10 routes me differently than the earlier maps &, I have to say more sensibly.
