Sorry for this simple question but I've lost track of the issue. I know mapshare PoI updates for x40s running 9.058 causes a rebooting cycle. I am not sure if there is a similar problem with x50s?

Apologies to those who think mapshare is not a good idea, but I've been OK with TT approved changes, and I do find the map versions 860 and 865 have road direction errors I did not experience on earlier [845 and 850] versions.

I seem to remember there was one map update (or a short series) that did this quite some time ago. I have never had that problem since.

Try running a Demo route from 51.57418, -2.58545 to 51.60055, -2.61665 and watch the displayed speed for this motorway.

What map/version is that on Dennis.

I'm on v865 W+CE and with Mapshare set to "strict" I get a steady 70mph along that section.

v865 UK ROI on three devices - no mapshares downloaded, 40mph (the norm for high winds there). I have mapshared it (and uploaded) on two devices to 71mph over most of it, but I keep missing the odd little bit and not on my built in Carminat because it's such a pain to do mapshares on it.

Running v8.65 map data on my GO 950 correctly show the Motorway as 70mph.

NOT 40mph or 71mph or any other gubbins.

Good ol' Mapshare!

Yup, after the well-documented howlers of the early days, I have to say it seems to have improved dramatically and is pretty useful now.

TT must be filtering out the people who are submitting incorrect corrections such as 40mph/71mph Motorways Andy, thats a great starting point!!

I see there is still no other similar system in place from any other Sat Nav maker. Even with its flaws, no one else has come close to devising anything similar!

Today I came across a road that was previously two way, recently became one way (which was a real pain for the diversion) and yet today I went past the same bit of road and its now become permanently two way again.

If this was was any other Sat Nav maker, I would be stuck with incorrect map data. With Mapshare, I can easily correct this change and have my routing reflect the new road layout. Oh and my changes get shared with everyone else!

Very Happy
