Ovi/Nokia Maps being updated?

Hello,

 

I have submitted a few 'wrong location' reports via my phone and after months - nothing has changed.

 

My N8 says they were submitted.....

 

Does someone look after the maps or have they been abandoned?

 

Thanks,

A YEAR!?!   

 

Wow....one thing Nokia does have going for it still is it's mapping/GPS....

 

Hope they don't let that go.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

I submitted four corrections using map reporter of the Navteq website. Until now those corrections have not been implemented. Nokia/Navteq maps are about two years out of date. BTW I live in the Netherlands. Cheers.

Are they phasing the mapping out?

VeePee: Are they phasing the mapping out?

 

I don't think so. Roads that are considered important are pretty well updated when needed.

 

But I have to say, that Navteq's responsibility to error reports has been lousy and seems to get worse! Three or four years ago I got reactions to my reports within a year. Now all seem to go to a black hole. Sometimes the error in map data has been corrected, but my error report has not been 'closed'. This is awkward but understandable: Perhaps many people reported the same error or Navteq noticed it itself.

 

Current Navteq responsibility actively dicourages users from helping them.
