Roundabaouts: 20% improper numbering of exit in the south of Geneva (France)
Quote from as rider on 31.05.2024, 03:58Hi there
We had an exchange before vers. 3.5, where I asked you to use icons that display the direction and number of an exit in a roundabout. Your answer was, that there are some wrong numberings in Here maps. On a trip in the south of Geneva, there were about 20% wrong. In France they have many many roundabouts.
So I had to check before every roundabout the screen, if the exit is counted correctly and identify the direction. More time on the device is less security. Is there solution?
According to Here, Garmin uses their maps too. Garmin uses the icons indicating the direction and mistakes in roundabouts are seldom. Where is this difference between scenic and Garmin maps coming from?
Again I ask you to use icons with directions. Is this possible?
But other than that the usability of scenic is really superb. Thanks to your work!

The only thing you could do is report these errors to HERE maps and hope they correct it. There are two ways to do that: https://scenic.app/help/reporting-map-errors/

Garmin uses a variety of sources for their maps, not only HERE. It also depends on what Garmin device / app you are using.
