POI in wrong place   

POI in wrong place

Postby Hotpants » Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:44 pm

Hi all, I've just updated to the 885 UK & ROI maps. I tried to navigate to a POI (a hotel that I know), and when it planned the route, it was in the wrong place by about a mile.

When I put in the postcode of the hotel, it is correct. I navigated there ok, and then again put in the POI, which still said it was over a mile away, even though I was sitting in the hotel car park ;).

This isnt the first time, and another hotel was more than half a mile out.

Any thoughts on what causes this?

Regards

Hotpants

ps I'm on Navcore 9401, but it was wrong on the previous v8 as well (probably not important but....)

Tele Atlas, maker of the map, has the wrong coordinates for these hotels. You can report it here: [Please Register or Login to download file]

You can also do a temp re-locate correction in Main Menu, Map Corrections.
