OT : Paging the Tom Tomisti - Odd One.

Grimly's post got me thinking that I must wander down and have a look at the
Submarine Museum again.
I punched it in to the Tom Tom to see what route it suggested and got the
"No Route Found" response.
Is it just mine, or does your tom tom do this as well ?

 

Not the waterproof version?

 

Mine can do it - and that's the worlds most ancient Tom Tom.
I couldn't find it by the bloody useless half-postcode, half-
streetname thing but I could by doing gosport -> haslar road.

FWIW I've never seen it tell me it couldn't do a route to anywhere
that I could find in the annoying lookup thing.

 

Boom Tish ..... Available for weddings etc etc

Bored ?

 

I can get close but not navigate to the road, postcode or POI created on the
map.

And ...

Google maps can't handle it either.

"We could not calculate driving directions between ox12 0py and Haslar Jetty
Rd, Gosport, PO12 2AS (The Royal Navy Submarine Museum)
@50.788126,-1.119658."

I think they use the same teleatlas mapping.

Odderer and odderer !

 

Garmin's MapSource appears to be able to get me there.

 

Maybe, maybe not.

 

Mio 168 PDA with Tom Tom gave exactly same results, 'no route found' when I
tried it with postcode only. Going for Gosport, Haslar road was OK, but no
house numbers, so chose 'anywhere' and found route easily.

No idea what to do to 'fix' it.

 

BGN wibbled:

As does my new TomTom Europe

 

Ho Hum , odd - something I'll have to live with then.

I would have thought that the latest maps on my TTG would be the same as
those on your device.

I bought the seemless street level maps of western europe last year.

Kerching.

 

But that doesn't get you to the road or indeed the building.

 

That's what the OP was referring to.

 

So?

 

TBH, I didn't check but put the postcodes in and it came up with a
route, which is more than 'is bleedin' TomTom.

 

I've had it a couple of times, but it's very, very rare. The last time
it was just after I'd launched the program, and after waiting a few
secs and trying it again it worked fine.

 

Found it on my TT Go 500 and my Orbit with TT6
