I absolutely don’t want this to be about the merits of LTNs themselves. Rather it is more how the new spate of LTNs is massively highlighting how out of date the Tesla maps currently are in the UK.
I don’t mind LTNs as long as I can navigate around them, but the Tesla simply doesn’t recognise they are there and will perpetually direct you towards them. We keep getting into ludicrous situations within a mile of our own home where we are having to turnaround three or four times as we manually try and plot a route.
Interestingly, I’m not convinced Google Maps on my phone is getting it right either. Is Waze any better? Perhaps it is less of a maps issue and more of a routing (server-side) problem. I would have thought given what a hot topic LTNs are that Google would have been immediately across them and programmed them into the routing logic, but searching ‘Google Maps Low Traffic Neighbourhood’ doesn’t really give any indication as to whether Google Maps has figured out how treat LTNs when providing routing instructions.
