I updated my Tom Tom a day before I headed off to Sheffield a few weeks ago and was surprised to find Tom Tom directing me striahgt ahead rather than a left when I hit a tram only route, luckily my logic took control and I didn't go straight ahead but I'm a bit annoyed as Tom Tom updates don't ever seem to be that accuarate!

So is there anywhere I can get a decent update without the worry that I'll get a £60 fine for driving down a bus only/tram only street.

Can you give us the location of the offending road/place which is a tram only route. Be interesting to look into this.

Just like a leading paper map producer, as soon as its gone to print its already out of date, there is never really such a thing as an up to date map.

Always remember that satnavs ( tomtom or otherwise ) are a navigation aide, and should always be used with a pinch common sence.

In answer to your last question, in Croydon you wont get fined for going down the tram only routes, ive ever noticed fines being issued!

Regards

In what way did you update your TomTom? What maps are you using? Can you make the necessary alterations with MapShare?
