Re: Map v8.85 available

I'm wondering why oh why Navteq can do it properly.Simply compare Q4 2011 NAVTEQ maps (released mid-December) with newest TomTom. SHAME.

Re: Map v8.85 available

[ Edited ]

Somehow in the "Eastern Bloc" the cheap navis offer better detailed maps. iGo for example is more accurate, however the look of the display is terrible. Tomtom missed a street in Hungary by a whole city (however the name was correct of the city and the street as well), whilst the tatty iGo found it no problem. A lot improved though, but there is much more to do there. In Poland I've got directed twice to terrible unpaved roads (had to chose it as the destination was on unpaved, but there were better choices). Good when you have local knowledge, but when you are there first...

Re: Map v8.85 available

By the way, just use the MSR to correct the issues, and hopefully it will be implemented in the next update:

http://www.tomtom.com/mapshare/tools/

(Hope they've fixed the missing MOTORWAY-like road in Warsaw that I experienced last year or so... The whole road was missing and I was floating in the air, according to TomTom).

Re: Map v8.85 available

You see? last year. I put a correction of local road in last year, before v8.80 and after two updates there is still missing part of the street.

 PS. Poland is not in the "Eastern Block"

Re: Map v8.85 available

HOWEVER ~

 

Cast your mind back to a suggestion I made before the previous update ( I realise that you are a busy person but please bear with me ) my suggestion was that the full 7 digit/figure postcode for the UK be incorporated with each update and that would save us , the paying customers , messing about finding and installing the appropriate link .

 



Morning Badger, - Can you elaborate on this please for me as a newbie, and point me in the right direction to find such a link to the latest postcodes? 

Is it easy to install?

 

Kind regards

Tony

Re: Map v8.85 available

@prezesczwa: I put it in quotes, regardless actually it IS/was the Eastern Bloc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Bloc).

How did you report those issues? I put some local streets in before, and those were accepted and used in the next update already.

Re: Map v8.85 available

Map updated to V885 but now TomTom Home said map has not been updated for more than 20 weeks Unfortunately MapShare map corrections are temporary not available.  Anyone has similar problem?
