I'm not sure what all that deal entails, so it's hard to say whether it could have been better executed upon, other than to say it's clearly not ready yet. I find it hard to believe, however, that all of the incorrect placement of destinations and, in some cases, even the inclusion of destinations that have not existed for decades, also occur in TomTom's car navigation systems.
- skeletonjelly 14y agoSorry I should have found a source for you! It's pretty embarrassing for them too isn't it.
- jrabone 14y agoOne can always use http://routes.tomtom.com/ http://routes.tomtom.com/ as a source for comparison. It would also be good if certain journalists and bloggers did this before shooting their mouths off about data quality, but that wouldn't make a compelling headline.
- glenra 14y agoTomTom is pretty good at directing you to a street address but is just terrible in terms of finding local destinations. I did a ~2000 mile road trip a few months ago and several times that I was looking for something specific I couldn't find it or found the wrong thing using TomTom. It turned out the best workflow was to look something up in Google Maps, get the address from Google, type that address into TomTom, and let TomTom direct me to that address.
