Tom Tom new UK & IRL map released today

Interesting..

What map is on your device ?

testicle · 06-09-2009 2:35pm

The latest - v835.2419. The track is from the GPS co-ords, not "snap to road" like the TomTom will do if it's within 100m of a road.

KoolKid · 06-09-2009 2:40pm

I'll pass it on.

testicle · 06-09-2009 2:41pm

It's just an example. There are roads like it all over the country...

KoolKid · 06-09-2009 3:47pm

I know there is , especially on country roads. But there have been inprovements in the last few map releases.

testicle · 07-09-2009 10:25am

Do you want the track? It'll save them driving it

pmsurveys · 15-09-2009 10:49pm

Allbeit I have to say that over the last 6 months I submitted about 6 "mad" errors to Tomtom and in the last 2 updates most have been corrected / added.

The list was

Naas ring road from B&Q around to Sallins Road. This was missing.
N4 Drumsna exit and flyover for shortcut to Leitrim village
M4 Kinnegad exit and road towards Edenderry
Small back road near me where "mad S bend" is but was shown as straight and Tomtom used to recalculate every time ... was very frustrating ..... and amazingly has been changed.
Dont know about road between Ballybofey and Dungloe

Keep sending them in and it seems they do take notice eventually.

KoolKid · 16-09-2009 5:19pm

Yes 835 saw some Major changes . Especially along the M50 & intersections.

Park W Road should extend to Kileen Road
Park W Avenue should extend to Cloverhill Road (to a roundabout about where the bend is to the E of the M50)
The Roundabout at the junction of Park W Avenue and Nangor Road no longer exists.

These are definitely not new changes, and have been reported by me several times over the past few years.

Got this corrected in latest map

I concur , testing v840 now and there seems to be a lot of new content for Ireland on there . A big improvement.

gonker · 05-12-2009 1:15pm

Anybody know if I can get my TomTom repaired. It will not switch on at all. Just the green light on the top. Even when plugged into the computer. Have reset it but no joy. Have just bought new maps too.:mad:

KoolKid · 05-12-2009 8:21pm

Can you give me a bit more information gonker?
What model is the device?
Any Idea of the firmware?
When you connect to the PC is it seen as an external storagfe device?
Have you tried thr reset?

gonker · 06-12-2009 3:20pm

Its a tom tom one Europe. No idea of the version. Ill go get it now and see if its seen as an external device. Tried to reset and all the stuff on the net. It seems quite a common problem.:(

Edit: No its not showing up at all. When I go into tomtom home on computer it says device not connected.

Does not sound good..
The only other option is to either disconnect the battery or let it discharge fully.
Recconnect & fully charge & see if that works.

gonker · 07-12-2009 11:17am

Noooo. right Ill try that. If I bought a new tom tom uk and Ireland and loaded the europe maps on it would they work?

KoolKid · 07-12-2009 4:37pm

Maps are certified to a particualr device.
If you bought the maps for a previous device & that is not functioning , you would have to contact Customer Support & request a new certificate.

gonker · 07-12-2009 5:56pm

:mad: Thanks anyway. So you dont think it can be fixed then

KoolKid · 07-12-2009 6:22pm

Without looking at the device I cant say 100% ...
Have you tried opening the unit at all?
Its also possible its something as simple as the on/off button not connecting.

Hi Koolkid,

I have a question.
I currently have a TT Go 730 IQ with
Western & Central Europe 2Gb V830.2305
App 8.351

Is it possible for me to download just the V840 of the UK and Ireland maps and keep the Western and Central Europe maps? As I only have 90MB free. Could I download the UK and Ireland maps to an SD card and use that. I know there is only €30 between the UK&ROI and West&Cent Eur maps, but I have yet to travel and drive in Europe....Your advice would be appreciated

KoolKid · 09-12-2009 12:11am

Yes you could add UKROI 840 to an SD card.
In the menu on you device goto preferences> Switch map> Select map

Sully · 13-12-2009 10:07pm

Updating maps now. Have to say, it can give very odd directions at times on the Waterford to Roscommon route. At one stage it was telling me to go into a business park over a main road. I assume it will be sometime before the Waterford City bypass and motorway is added?

KoolKid · 13-12-2009 11:58pm

Have you selected shortest route???

Sully · 14-12-2009 12:44am

The new maps have the bypass without the speeds - I am working on correcting those atm.

As for Roscommon - well, regardless, you cant get to the destination via the business park

Shall I report errors here instead of TomTom so?

For those interested, Bing Maps is the same as the latest TomTom maps - http://www.bing.com/maps

KoolKid · 15-12-2009 6:43pm

If you want to pass any onto me I'll do the best I can testicle.
Bing are using Navteq maps so they wouldn't always be the same as TomTom

testicle · 15-12-2009 8:07pm

So they are doh!

Sully · 15-12-2009 9:26pm

Since the latest version of TomTom maps there is a section on the N25 Waterford-Cork that is not placing the car symbol on the road. Ill have to mark down the exact location when I am going that way again this weekend.

I assume me setting speed limits for the community wont be taken as accurate? There a little off, not much, but dont start at exactly the spot I have marked.

KoolKid · 15-12-2009 10:25pm

there are a few areas like that where allignment is an issue. If you can grap the co-ordinates that would help.

Koolkid, I'm really impressed by your work commitment with TT. Not only you're very active on TT beta testing but you also get to contribute a lot on boards. Well done !!
