About 4/3 years ago I made a report to to a company which TTT used for its map data. After a few weeks I received a email to say the report I had submitted was valid and would be incorporated into their map database.
If I recall the email correctly, it also stated that the company had no control over how long TT would take to incorporate.
Its now a good 3 years later. TT still routes you around the houses in the belief the road is closed. granted its only a 2minutes divert but whats the point of map updates?

For the last 18 months have used the TT map update service. As much as its a pain to have mistakes in the latest map, its nice to know you have the latest map and any mistakes is just the compromise you have to make for easy virtual navigation, till it sends you the long way  .
Someone said you cant push water uphill and the machine moves at its own pace. Unfortunately TT will do things when they want and not before.
The other option of latest Ordinance and Survey paper map and a navigator is not really ideal? At least with virtual mapping the arguements are shorter with 'Kate' not answering back!

You probably made your report to TeleAtlas who used to be a separate company but was then bought and integrated into TomTom. There is a different service now HERE and you might like to report the problem again there. You could get a better response
