Hi Charles
I will dig out some exact information on both the pubs and the Prospect
Street POIs later when I can get at my Braillenote.
But regarding the pubs it is literally all of them. There were only eight
Alcohol establishments within 40 miles of Hastings. They were all wine shops
or alcohol take away establishments not a single pub. Doing the same check
at home brings up a similar number.
Regarding Prospect Street I suspect that there were similar problems last
year but I did not notice it on quite the same scale. Prospect Street,
Caversham, is more or less the main street of the district whereas Prospect
Street, Reading, is mostly a residential street.
I will be in touch later or maybe tomorrow.

Hi Steve,
Can you give me some 3rd party IDs of those POIs which all of a sudden moved
from Prospect Street, Caversham, Reading to Prospect Street, Reading.
This way I can go to last years data and this years to compare notes.
Thanks.

Hi all
The more I look at the UK POIs the more I worry about them!
I have been comparing notes with my wife's Tomtom and she is using the maps
that equate to Sendero version 5. Just looking at our local area I have
discovered that a large number of POIs are wrongly positioned. We have two
streets named Prospect Street in Reading and all the POIs relevant to
Prospect Street, Caversham, Reading
, have been moved to Prospect Street, Reading. Their postodes are totally
wrong and their details show the correct addresses but someone has changed
their Long/Lats.
We looked at Places of Worship in more detail. We found 8 withn 13.2 miles.
None of them were Christian. All the churches have disappeared in the
current maps. We have got everything else from synagogues to yoga centres.
I'm not sure what to do about it. There does not seem to be any scope for
general complaints on the TelAtlas site. The usage that these maps get
should mean that they are self-correcting but I don't think many people no
how to, or can be bothered to, submit corrections. I am also uncertain that
TelAtlas take any notice of correction that are submitted. I submitted a
number of corrections last year but none of them appears to have been
actioned.
