Hi Steve,You may jump for joy if we switched from TeleAtlas to NavTeq but others would then have worse map accuracy and scream bloody murder. No solution is best.
I can tell you this, Sendero will be working closer with TeleAtlas to help improve their map quality, and now with the new deal between TomTom and TeleAtlas, TeleAtlas will be receiving quality control updates from TomTom users who opt-in to TomTom's MapShare features which helps monitor real-time road conditions and sends back this information to Tom-Tom and ultimately TeleAtlas.

Due to vagaries in TeleAtlas's inane map city designator system, one of the unfortunate consequences of the Sendero GPS implementation, in my opinion,your destination address may be in what they consider a different city. Where I am, they list me in a "city" which is not a politically defined jurisdictionand hasn't been for over thirty years.I would jump for joy if they ever converted to NavTech, which the Trekker usesand it doesn't have this problem. The only thing I can suggest is to try to select an address in the real city, virtually navigate to your destination, and hit the letter C to see what TeleAtlas think your city is.

The name is North River View Road. I tried making River View two words, dropping the North designation, but it never found the street.I then picked another address in a close-by city and it found it just fine in virtual mode. Why would this happen? Charlene Elder
