Tonight I was
driving up Jamaica Road and noticed my Tomtom said I was in
Southwark Bridge Road!


I've been trying to get them to show
Chiswick High Road correctly (it calls it King Street for more than
half a mile beyond the actual end of King Street)


Could these "errors" be the deliberate ones the cartographers insert
to detect copyright infrigement?


No. Such errors are always designed so as not to prevent users from finding
properties, whereas these errors do.

On the subject of Chiswick map errors, several different companies' maps
show the northern end of Great Chertsey Road as "Alexandra Avenue". Is this
an old name, or a deliberate error?
