I e-mailed teleatlas with my views and disappointment at how "door to door navigation" as advertised in a catalogue was not possible using their maps in Northern Ireland, the reply i received was courteous but totally lacking any useful information that i could pass on to you except that apparently they are iso9002 registered which means according to their e-mail they don't change anything without checking it out themselves, thereby saying that other mapping companies are not as good as they are?????. <BR/>After pressing again with another e-mail i was told that the maps would be upgraded by July 2007 but considering how long it will take to "update" by presumably "checking it all themselves" i estimate I will be dead long before I will see any benefit.<BR/>I noted with a little chuckle to myself that they have just announced a "new" service, you've guessed it!!! users can now report updates to the website, missing roads etc.... maybe they just ditched their ISO registration :), what do you think?.<BR/>When i dispose of my satnav I will puchase the first 1 that can guarantee "door to door navigation in Northern Ireland".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-1165601874736378162006-12-08T18:17:00.000+00:002006-12-08T18:17:00.000+00:00Don't buy a NavMan, I bought a iCN 550 with traffi...Don't buy a NavMan, I bought a iCN 550 with traffic last year for use in the UK. The maps were out of date when i received it. I was promised an upgrade later in the year, now I have been told my unit is obsolete in only 11 months. Now I can only plan journeys on a map that is now two years out of date.<BR/><BR/>Navman claim to support their products but you have no guarantee!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-1164037047475255582006-11-20T15:37:00.000+00:002006-11-20T15:37:00.000+00:00I should have posted back a resolution before now....I should have posted back a resolution before now. But in case anyone stumbles across this posting while Googling for an answer ... <BR/><BR/>If you're in Northern Ireland, but a Garmin, or a TomRom One EUROPE. Both use Navteq maps which include detailed maps of NI roads (in fact, Ireland - north and south). (The TomTom One UK/GB maps are not Navteq.)<BR/><BR/>I got a TomTom One Europe and it works well. Must compile a list of map corrections though - but that would be the case across the UK. It's not perfect. But it's faster than a map on your lap.Alan in Belfast (Alan Meban)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04647690758839987063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-1161735560604134992006-10-25T01:19:00.000+01:002006-10-25T01:19:00.000+01:00I've heard the same thing on a GPS message board, ...I've heard the same thing on a GPS message board, that the new ONE maps have the best coverage of north and south, and in general the TT ONE is better for maps of backroads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
