Route calculations based on IQ-routes-data will plan more optimal routes then.

Just the 5 reports to TeleAtlas and 3 to Google at various points during that period - all unanswered or unactioned. No MapMaker for the UK either to improve upon TeleAtlas' data.

I also wonder if Google think that 300 temporary employees working for "a year" will fix their problems.
