Another slightly random one I'm afraid but do any of you use a TomTom or other devices around the Leeds area and if so does your map include the section of the East Leeds Link from the M621 up towards Cross Green?

Google maps links to area in question:

I think I'm up to date on my map (Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB v845.2645) but this bit of road has been open for ages now and it's still not on there. I notice Google don't have it set as a proper road yet either.

I don't need to navigate around here but I use the Live service on my device to get me around traffic jams on my trips across town and try to learn new routes in the hope that IQ Routes actually does something.

Just curious I guess, I hate it when it drives me over the top of old roads and gets all excited about directing me on bits that haven't been there in ages.

Cheers, I've submitted a map correction to TomTom, they say they are completely unaware of the road - fingers crossed it helps make it appear sooner rather than later smile

Every time I go into office (In cross green industrial estate) my Tomtom has a fit as it tries to work out where I am. Its been like that since that road opened.

If you have the live services and can submit a map correct to sync with the Home software give it a whirl, I guess the case will get stronger if a few people do it.
