Default Navigation Devices - Outdated Maps

I recently did NSW Central Coast to Brisbane & return using the Tom Tom. A few months ago I purchased the latest map update for approx $100 (I think).

Now I know there is a lot of roadwork going on up the Pacific Hwy but I estimate either the speed zone or the speed camera info on the map was wrong 10% of the time. But what riles me is that these zones have clearly been in place for ages, perhaps years. Also getting warnings about speed cameras that are no longer there (mainly because the road has been moved). And the number of times the device thinks you are out in a paddock and starts giving (potentially catostrophic) instructions to turn around is beyonf belief. This is for the 2nd most used piece of hwy in the country.

I had the same issues when going to Melb earlier this (before I did the update) with the Albury-Wodonga bypass which has been in place how long?

I have sent a complaint to Tom Tom asking for a refund of the update fee and will let you know how I get on
