Try newer maps. Otherwise, report the error to TeleAtlas and hope they will eventually put it in the maps we can use...

Teleatlas puts my house on the opposite side of the circle from where it really is. Not only does it screw up my GPS, but the units UPS uses too. I've been trying to get it corrected for more than a year.

Given the time lag between collecting map data, verifying it, encoding it, sending it to Navigation software manufacturers, having them encode it in their proprietary format, distributing it etc., etc., I'd expect more time than that for a fix that you report to them first///

+1. My friend works for Alpine in the navi division. He said by the time a map update is released to the consumers, the database is already about 2 years old. :?

I agree, but I wasn't talking about turn around time to the device. I still can't get Teleatlas to correct the problem in their database, which is step 1 of a dozen before it gets to a Pioneer nav disc.
