I have had my new 2010 Tele Atlas map update for about a month now. So far, I have submitted two corrections, and both of them have been corrected according to Tele Atlas. I got emails saying "Based on a review of your report, we can now confirm that the change you suggested has been made. It will go out in the next release of our map database." This is very encouraging and more responsive than NavTeq's map correction team.

However, this stuff is just plain junk. One of these errors was cleaned up in Navteq's data over four years ago, and the other never existed (to my knowledge) in Navteq's data. Given how few people use navigation devices with Tele Atlas data in the U.S., it could take many years before Tele Atlas achieves the accuracy and quality of Navteq.

I am frustrated, because my 2010 disk is probably worse than the 2008 disk I gave up. No, it is worse. There is no question. I will probably sell my 2010 disk and buy a used 2009 Navteq disk. Then, I may consider another Tele Atlas update in 5 years. This makes me sad.
