Anyone With 815 Canada&USA Map

[sab]

I am considering buying the 815Canada/US map but would like to know if a 6 year old bridge in my area has been added.

Anyone with map 815 can you please check.

At this location N 45.46285 W 73.59766

The corner of Monk Boul and St. Patrick there is a Bridge extending Monk Boul past St. Patrick street all the way to Notre-Dame.

I've sent Tomtom a few mapshare updates on this, I was wondering if they actually listen.
Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the bridge just before the Autoroute ?

I just took a look on Google Maps and it is a more update map of Tele-Atlas than the one that TT uses at the moment

This is what the location looks like on my map

Now, I should mention that my map is North America 8.10 (which is NOT the same as US & Canada 8.10). The NA map is more detailed in spots than would be an equivalent US & Canada map.

It just appears to me that the bridge is there on my map so there is probably a good chance it would also be there in the US & Canada 8.15 map.

But, not a guarantee. Let's hope someone with the specific map can confirm.

Interesting to see that when you compare it with the Google Maps (made w/ Tele Atlas map data, same co. that makes TomTom's maps), the bridge is shown in there too.

Pretty amazing how many people here jumped in to help sab figure out whether to buy the map!

Gotta love TTF

Thanks guys.

I guess I will be getting a new map seeing as that bridge is finally on the there and the maps are on sale.

Good to hear, sab!

If you get a chance, after a few weeks of testing out the new map, could you post some feedback here on ttforums?

I have the new version, and I am really curious of how it is performing in Canada, but I don't live there so haven't tested it there yet. Would be cool to hear how it is working for you.

Just put some $$$ into my heat pump repair so I may have to delay the map purchase for now.

As soon as I update it I'll let you know how it performs.

In the meantime you can select Satellite, second largest setting and you will even see the design of the bridge.

If I were you, I'd wait for the next map version. The next map version should be a major upgrade because major MapShare updates are finally going to be incorporated in the map and the next version is not too far away according to the rumour mill. The other rumour is that we may have access to an update plan such as they now have in Europe.

I had already decided to wait on the next map version but if they offer a subscription service that'll seal the deal for me. I'd jump on that if it's a fair cost.

Thanks for the advice.

Sab sorry to hear about that water heater! Stuff happens.

Just an idea to make things easy for you:
subscribe to TomTom's RSS feeds...then you will know whenever Tele Atlas releases a new map update:
http://www.tomtom.com/news/index.php?Language=4

I do it, and it helps me keep up with all thats going on!

 

[rcacs]

Of course I just updated to the 815 map.....

but if the next map includes the option of the subscription service, I will buy into that.

Cheers
