I am pretty sure it is map error. I have been looking up places that I know for sure the address and what city the gps has put them in and they are completely gone. In the maps we used for 4.22 caledonia high school was in two different categories and 2 different addresses but with in the same city. When I went to the location virtually it said I was in caledonia area caledonia. In the new tele atlas maps the high school is is in the old location it moved about 8 or 9 years ago. One of the colleges I went to is also completely gone. I know some of it I can recreate. I am not able to get to the high school and recreate it that way. Thanks Charles for writing back. If I am able to go to the high school I will record it and get it put back on the map. Crazy how things are removed from map data even though it was correct in the previous one.

Hi Malaina,



If you enter in an address and then the system asks which cross
street you would like to use, then what has happened is that 
address
wasn't found on that street. This could be map error or you 
could be
looking in the wrong city. There are some cities which streets 
run
through and TeleAtlas uses a different city name for that section 
of
the street. I know very crazy, we have a whole section in our 
manual

on ways around looking up addresses.  Something to try is the
following: If you can physically go to this school then add your 
own

user POI this will be the most accurate and can then be sent to
Sendero and it will be included for all users. Also once you go 
to
the physical location you can see what city the system "thinks" 
you
are in, and then you can ask for detailed city information which 
will
not only give you the city, but the county, street and address 
range

of the street you are on.



Thanks
Charles.

I am having a problem recreating a poi that was taken off the new
map for Michigan. For some reason the location of the school was 
in

the previous maps but in both it current and it previous
locations. Now the only location is the old one. Once I find 
the
name of the old location I can rename it so I don't plan on 
taking
it off the map. But I am trying to put the current address into 
the

map and when I type the address it asks for a cross street.  Is
there a way I can set the correct address with out having to give 
a
cross street? I think I am going to enjoy the new features of 
5.0
once I can have a chance to go somewhere but I am finding a lot 
of
errors in the map data. I know sendero doesn't control the map 
data

from tele atlas.



Thanks for any help.
