Jade,
It's unfortunate that you are unable to solve the problem. Communicating by phone rarely solves the problem. There's the problem of communicating in general (language). Also, written communication not only provides (written) clarity, but it also provides a "paper trail" that communicating by phone does not.
Earlier in this "communication history" you wrote: "Note: If the incident is not updated within 72 hours, the incident will move to 'Solved' status to reflect that the provided resolution has been successful for you. The incident will automatically get closed."
Needless to say, given your last response, there is no need for me to update this "incident" any longer. Even though it "will be moved to 'solved' status to reflect that the provided resolution has been successful...and will be automatically closed",

Jade,
I update my TomTom regularly. I updated it within the past 24 hours. It still does not work correctly.
Let's re-cap: I've had my TomTom for several years. I've lived at 58 Redtail Drive, Bluffton, SC 29909, for 6+ years. While the streets in my development show up on my screen, TomTom takes roads that do not exist going from my home EVERY time that I use it. It has me going west from my home (there are no exits to the west from my gated development), on roads that do not exist (Striker Road, unnamed road), and then it has me coming back east to the intersection of US 278 (Fording Island Road) and Sun City Blvd. to where the maingate to my development is located. Basically, it has me going around in circles. 9+ miles to go 3 miles (through my development). 30+ minutes for what takes 10 minutes through my development.
What do I tell my friends when they say: "Your TomTom can't even direct you out of your development! It's 3 miles; it takes 10 minutes. But, your TomTom says that it's 9+ miles and takes 30+ minutes. As a result, your TomTom adds approximately 6 miles and 30 minutes to EVERY trip! What good is that?"
I trust that you will do your best to resolve this issue, knowledgeably, correctly, and without further ado.

Dear Ray,
Thank you for updating the incident.

Please rest assured that I will do my best to resolve this issue.
I would like to inform you that such issue might happen if the map on the device is not updated. It is estimated that 10-15% of the road network changes every year. There is also inevitably some human error/subjectivity in the creation of a digital map. All of which means that maps must be constantly maintained to keep the level of map errors as low as possible. Tele Atlas has extensive survey teams constantly surveying new roads, changed roads, POI positioning and accuracy, map errors, etc. Each change and fix is then checked before being built into the next map release.
Please make sure you have the latest map version installed on the device. The latest map version is 8.55, which was released on August 31st, 2010. In order to determine which map version you have, please feel free to follow the instructions found on our website at:
http://us.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6166
If the map installed on the device is not of the version 8.55, then update the map by using the steps given on this link: http://us.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10541
If you already have the new 8.55 map, we ask you to uninstall and reinstall TomTom application from your device. Here is the link that has the steps to do it:
http://us.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9091
Later we also request you perform a soft reset on the device. Please perform the steps mentioned in the following link: http://us.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7134
It was a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you. The above information will help us to resolve the issue. In case the issue persists, please reply and let us know the status of the issue. We want you to know that, we will be there for you and we do value you as a customer.

Jade,
I reset it. It still doesn't work correctly.
To go from my address (58 Redtail Drive, Bluffton, SC) to the main gate of our development (Sun City Blvd. & US 278, Fording Island Rd.):
Redtail Drive is a cul-de-sac in one direction.
Take the other direction to left at the intersection with Thomas Heyward Drive.
left at the intersection with Sun City Blvd.
The main gate is at the intersection of Sun City Blvd. & US 278 (Fording Island Rd.)
It's about 3 miles and 10 minutes.
Using the fastest route, my TomTom goes west (there are no gates to the west). It says:
Striker Rd.
Unnamed road
Unnamed road
Unnamed road
US 278 SC 141 John Smith Rd.
US 278 SC 141 John Smith Rd.
US 278 Sun City Blvd. - Fording Island Rd.
9.4 miles; 36 minutes.
All of my trips are at least 7 miles and 30 minutes longer than they should be.

I live at 58 Redtail Drive, Bluffton, SC, 29909 (aka Okatie). I live in a gated community that has 2 access points to US 278 (Fording Island Road) and 2 to SC 170. My TomTom does not route me through these existing 4 access points, but rather takes me west by unnamed roads to Pritchardville, even for destinations to the east, north or south. This adds 30 minutes or more to all travel times. How do I fix this?
