A question I have involving my tom tom maps is why aren't rivers and lakes
and oceans marked on their road map? What I am getting at is when you are
driving along or walking along a road and a river comes up with a bridge
crossing it. Why don't the current maps have the river marked so that when I
am on that road, the name of the river would be listed as we cross it. Too
me, a river is just another line on the map and a line can be given a name
and be treated like a path way or road and common sense would tell me that
you can't walk on the river. An example of what I am talking about is right
here in calgary alberta canada where elbow drive sw crosses the elbow river
south of cifton blvd but my sendero product doesn't label this fact. Because
of my knowledge of the area, I know that there is a river that is being
crossed at this point but the map doesn't speak this. Or how about those of
you who live near the ocean and there is a road that follows the ocean but
the maps don't list the name of the ocean that is beside the road and again
the people who live in the area would know this from experience but to
somebody new they wouldn't know this fact about that particular road. Have
other people experienced this when navigating in their parts of the world?
Is there a way of getting these bodies of water labeled?
Thanks for any help!
Marco
