Why is route planning so poor?

Thanks Paul. I'll have a look at that in a mo.

When I tried the route using Google maps it ignores Kew Gardens and stays on Bethania Road. If I put a via point in the middle of Kew Gardens it adds 2 minutes to the journey time. This is perhaps one extra minute for each right turn.

Perhaps the Garmin is not adding enough (or any?) time for right turns. I don't have the Garmin with me to experiment at the moment.

Hi Paul,

Robert,

I have also only recently moved from TomTom to Garmin.

The first edit that I made on HERE Map Creator was on 28 March this year. Its status is still shown as Under Review. The change was a simple addition of a new exit off an existing roundabout.

You don't get any acknowledgement of your submissions but they are recorded against your account and you can see the history of them when you are logged in.

As I have not had any submission reviewed yet (6 months seems a long review queue) it may be a similar waste of time to the TomTom version.

I've seen a couple I submitted included, but one I submitted for France has never been actioned.

One the next map update, according to the person I submitted it for. Same I think for the other but can't be sure. French one still isn't there but that was a road being built that was on the map, I suspect HERE are now leaving it as it's due for completion shortly Very Happy

But if it isn't open, you should not be routed along it.

TomTom MapShare Reporter and Here/Garmin Map Creator are a great concept, but it doesn't matter how good they are IF genuine submissions are never processed or incorporated into the map data.

Whilst I apprecate that submissions need to be verified to maintain map data integrity I also need to see progress to any submissions I might make.

Unfortunately if I get annoyed by lack of progress or feedback then then potentially 1,000s of other people will feel the same and thus we all miss out on improving the map data.

Regards,
