No-one said it was routine maintenance....

I suspect they would not have done it now unless they HAD to!

Nothing for my 740 so far...

No new map showing for my XL IQ Europe yet either. The 905 'Navigating to a postcode' updates keep appearing and I keep downloading them but they still show when I click the update button in TTH2.

I wasn't convinced my map update service was applied correctly to my account - I would be interested to know if anyone else with an XL IQ has had the new map yet?

Cheers

I'm amazed. I get this misguidance from two devices running side by side, both with map v905. Both previously indicated a left diagonal.




With the above indicating a right diagonal for miles in advance (and well before junction 14), you eventually see this overhead gantry



And further on, this sign



Now, that junction has a long dividing broad dotted white line and the right hand two lanes are for traffic continuing down the M5 to Bristol (west), the left lane for traffic turning left onto M4 for Bristol (central).

It is currently even more important to make sure you're in the left lane, because the roadworks are huge and add to confusion with lane closures. I personally think that any driver unfamiliar with this junction, following his satnav would go for the two outside lanes on the basis of "Keep right" and the right diagonal arrow.

My point is that this is a change to how the TT previously handled this junction and in my opinion, a change for the worse.

I can't tell you off the top of my head the details of my built-in Carminat TT (because I have to go out and sit in the van to take note of it).

Other device is GO550 Live, App 9.465, Map UK/ROI v905.4754

Anybody else wants to check it, Start coordinates 51.63586,-2.44997 End at 51.50440,-2.52179.

My One is showing a keep right arrow all the way down the M5 from J19 as if to stay on the M5 then once up on the junction at 300 yds correctly gives a left squiggle to go onto the M4 east

At last, somebody with the same result. That left squiggle doesn't show until after you've reached the right diagonal and in the current roadworks and lane closures, could be too late to switch back over to the left (safely).

Yes, it is 325 yds for the next instruction, the keep right arrow stays all the way to 0 coming off the M5.

My apologies Dennis. I checked the route again and, although the verbal instructions were correct, the graphics are wrong ... on the map and also the advance warning symbol below.

Normally a verbal manoeuvre instruction is accompanied by a graphic representation. Somehow the graphic bit for that segment junction (for keeping in the right lane), has been set in error
