Some map details out of date by many years. Near to where I live a one way system at Haywards Heath, West Sussex, on a main road not shown - it has been there for over thirty years. No through road in Lindfield shown with clear access, the road restriction has been in existance for over 10 years. Lewes Railway Station, Sussex, not shown despite having been there for over 150 years. If these map discrepancies are within a few miles of my home how many others are there?

My TomTom has no really bad points as far as I am concerned. Both me and my husband love him. We have used him several times and he has always found where we are going. He actually took us to a place that was virtually impossible to find without him. The people we were visiting were astonished when we said 'Thomas' had brought us. He has sometimes tried to send us wrong but if you use your wits a little he is easy to outsmart. Hopefully he is taking us to a cottage in Devon on Christams Eve and I have every faith in him. A couple of his features we particularly like is his speed camera warning and the ability to choose between motorways and minor road preferences
