Earlier this month, TomTom lifted the lid on its game-changing approach to build a new mapping and geolocation data ecosystem, the TomTom Maps Platform. Data will be key to its success, and while the company already has more than 30 years’ worth of global location data, it’s not resting on its laurels................."

In our lifetime? I wonder!
So maybe that's what Elon Musk will be wasting his money on next then?

from what I see from the most upto date maps TT have given us with the latest version, they are still lagging. I currently drive mostly in Manchester. A road junction on the East Lancs was temporarily causing road delays and has now been closed over 4 months. According to TT, turn right to avoid delay. The Road is closed. The map on my Audi, knows that and did several months ago, when it just reduced lanes and now closed permanently. odd the lastest TT map does not know. What maps do TT use?
Black friday offers.
- TomTom World Maps, Traffic, and 1-year Speed Cameras
- NEW 1-year Live services (fuel prices, off-street parking, EV POIs).
[COLOR=var(--coloredFontColor)]I have no intention of paying more of a less than good offering.
But I am not selling my current units either when they are still better than the newer offerings
today22/11/2022. update. big traffic jams. TT and Audi disagreed and I did usual TT routings which was great. the Audi would have been incorrect. Having said that, for about 2 weeks routing on TT not available, but today it was and and as usual is better. Admittedly when it does not work, it really is a pain, hence my comments, but when it works, it really is the best. Dave knows what I do, but the rest do not. I say good when things are fine, but when not, I am quick to complain. When I do drive to a location, I always need to know the fastest route and if changes, need reroutes fast. TT has been great and still is... When working. Last few weeks was not, hence comments. Today was great

One day, someone might make things work perfectly before release. Sadly not in my or your lifetime. At least by finding problems and sorting them, we are still alive.

Rijd met nieuwste kaart materiaal, maar stuurt mij toch een afgesloten weg in.
Een weg die al een jaar geleden is afgesloten.
Translation:
Drive with the latest map material, but still sends me into a closed road.
A road that was closed a year ago.

So new map badly updated.
I myself have an experience that at 2 roundabouts I had to take the second exit straight ahead while there were no roundabouts at all, only a year later the route was correct.
I suspect that a lot also depends on what the users report to TomTom, I have once passed on a traffic kilometer restriction and that was processed in an interim update within a very short time.

TomTom admit it can take 6-12 months from receipt of a map correction submitted by a customer before they actually incorporate it into their next map release!
I do appreciate that they must receive literally thousands of these reports and each individual one has to be checked/verified and then added to the next map release

Back in the day, years ago one road change took 3 years to get corrected, and 4 years to update two street names to be corrected, one is still awaiting correction
strange how google maps know it correctly, but using through Audi and using satellite imaging. routing on TT is still better on TT than AudiOne day, someone might make things work perfectly before release.

Same here with BMW and Here maps. These Germans uses Here maps but navigation is much worse than Tomtom. Also BMW maps are horrible in detailing the route and roundabouts. I use now Carplay and Tomtom maps on the big car touchscreen.
Backup is the latest map on a 930 device. Oke it has a slow CPU but will do the job in case of emergencies.Last edited by RAAF13; 12th April 2023 at 06:20 AM.
