tomtom: Romanian streetnames missing
  • Vote Up0Vote Down tagoretagore
    Using mapfactor on android with tomtom-maps europe since 2013 I am planing a trip to Romania now and found that major streetnames are missing on mapdisplay and in database, f.e. in the center of Timisora . Is there an issue with my tomtom maps and what can I do ?

    I looked in Town centre and can see street names, your map is out of date
    you can upgrade in Map manager/buy maps

    Does that mean: "The 2016 maps are OK but  the 2013 tomtom maps for mapquest navigator might be incomplete"? 

    I am speaking about all major streets in the center of a major city of a country.

    In the outskirts street names are complete.

    Given this, I would  like to ask you to check options for a  free bugfix-update for the sake of mapfactor's excellent reputation.

    this is not bug, TomTom maps simply progressed in three years

    That is, why you should use OSM maps. They are nearly (if not more) as detailed as Tomtom maps, udated monthly and they are free :-D

    I use OSM/openandromaps a lot for hiking and mountainbiking with orux. For routing purposes I moved  away from using OSM with Navigator after having experienced two database issues in one address:

    1. City: the only locality called  "München" (Munich) that  did not carry an extension (like "federal capital" or "near XY") was a small village 10 km north of Passau. In fact at this time I did not even see the federal capital on a selection screen,which might have been a navigator issue. So I had to enter a ZIP. Having done so I found that
    2. Street: The attribute "administrative district" was missing for "Josephsburgstrasse". I had to use an experimental navigator release to enter "near present position"...

    Is Navigator for sure more robust today to deal with this kind of scenario than it was 3 years ago? The other option these days would of course be to have a look at HERE for Android.

    Definitely Navigator is! I remember well the discussion to "München" where you had to know the suburb of a street beforehand. Now you will find München-München (vs München - Weimar for example) and there you are.
