If you're concerned about the accuracy of Tele Atlas maps, you can report problems at http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com/mapfeedback/index.php Don't expect anything to happen quickly. Tele Atlas still have a non- existent road near me marked on *their* map two years after I first reported it shouldn't be there. > Also pardon me for not posting to that old thread - I just didn't know > how. The only choices were "new post" or "reply to author". That happens after a while. No problem starting a new thread if you can't reply to an old one.
