I've been caught out twice in the last two or three years when I've set my device to navigate to Eastleigh centre. You arrive in the centre of Chandlers Ford, 2.4 miles away.

I've now set Eastleigh as a POI (if I remember next time I want to go there) but is there a way to tell TT about this so it can be put right?

There is a MapShare option to correct a City, though I think you would have to select the "Other" sub-option to move it from one place to another.

How quickly TomTom get round to acting on your information is another matter altogether Rolling Eyes

You can report it directly to Tele Atlas through the map insight tool. http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com/mapfeedback/index.php

Now had this response from MapFeedback@teleatlas.com:

Quote:
Thank you for contacting Tele Atlas. Based on a review of your report, we can now confirm that the change you suggested has been made. It will go out in the next release of our map database. This report is now closed.

Tele Atlas supplies maps to the companies that make devices or applications, not directly to the people who use them. We update the map we supply so these companies can incorporate the map update in their own systems. When this process is complete, your change will be made available to you. It may be possible to purchase an updated map; please contact your device manufacturer or application provider for further information.

Thanks again for your willingness to help keep Tele Atlas maps up-to-date and accurate!

Please do not reply as this is an automated email.
