Queensferry Crossing-Missing bridge v995
TomTom seemed to have missed the biggest infrastructure project in Scotland for over a generation. Over the last 5 years or so, £1.35 Billion has been spent on a new Forth crossing, alongside the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge. Its the highest bridge in the UK, and over 2km in length. It is open to traffic. Is it on TomTom maps? No chance. How are tom tom so inept at keeping up to date with developments in the UK?

Here is the catastrophic routing that MyDrive provides as a result of not having the new crossing on the map
Niall it will be months before they get themselves organised. It was the same when a new link road opened from Heysham to the M6 in Lancashire last year. the Third Forth Bridge is already showing on Google maps, sadly TomTom do not seem to have the staff to deal with changes to road networks. It looks like Tom Tom have recognised that the the old Forth Bridge is closed today from your routing...
They only had it closed southbound then!
But now
The reverse route is now
Thanks for reporting this!
I have a confirmation that this bridge is already in our database. Unfortunately, it didn't make it to the v995 release. Hopefully it'll make it to the next on in November.

Also not on Google Maps when it opened but I reported it and there is now a routing line so Google are faster - again.
Thanks for reporting these changes and helping us improve our maps!
Both of your changes have been implemented in the database. From what I see it looks like these would available on navigation products at earliest in the February release.
Cheers, Mikko
And to get useful traffic information I will have to force TomTom to route via South and North Queensferry each time, and let it catch up when I 'magically' cross the Forth.
I think this is the last nail in the TomTom coffin for me after 13 years of use.

Seriously, six months!? Can it not be put out as a mapshare item, and users advised to run an update?
Theres no point having lifetime maps if we have to wait months for important infrastructure changes to be added.
Very disappointed in TOMTOM.
This is quite unacceptable TomTom! You let me down when I needed the guidance! What have I paid all that money for? Why should I buy another TomTom product in the future if this is the best you can manage?
So when was it added?
