    Default TomTom v7 unable to find some destinations correctly.

    Anybody found bugs in the tomtom v7 maps?

    I was looking for 406 Church Street North Parramatta (Sydney, NSW) today and When I plugged it in, it kept giving me an address of 635 Church Street Parramatta. Which is 1.8km away from its correct destination.

    Just wanted to know if anybody else notice that the TTv7 maps or navigator software most of the time gives correct results, but occasionally giving incorrect results using it and can be very disconcerting when looking for particular destinations.

    I have also noticed allot of unnamed streets around Sydney outer suburbs. That will hopefully be added in the next major update. As well as sometimes being unable to find particular street numbers and offering you another street number close to the one your looking for.

    Hey Mate

    I have issues with the TomTom 6 Maps in my PDA. I have the latest, yet it contuinues to send me on a bum stear.

    When I drive home, about 18KM's from my exit ramp on the freeway, it tells me to turn off and the wrong town.

    One day I took the turn to see where it was talking me and it took me to the end of the exit ramp and then wanted me to cross the road and go back down the otherside, taking me straight back onto the freeway. WTF?

    It also told me to turn up a one-way street. So there are a few bugs. There only as smart as the maps in them

    Went on a trip yesterday. Tomtom Wanted me to go to left to the end of the street, turn around and go back the way I have come from.

    Also have the same problem with my home address. Always wants me to goto the end opf my street when starting a trip and turn around and go back the way I came as well.

    Yes I put in an address High Street Preston (Melbourne) and took me to neighbouring Suburb (Northcote-Thornbury).
    I tried it with two different V6 maps & V7 Map and all took me to same destination (I did a demo run).

    So I would say some addresses were problems from day 1 and have gone un-noticed or unfixed.
