A Visit to Angkor Apeiron

Which, it would appear, is in Cottenham.

Marcia had claimed a couple of monitor stands off Freecycle from a chap there. So onto Multimap and double check via Google Maps for directions, and off we go...

Out onto the A10, right towards Landbeach, right towards Cottenham, right onto High Street (admiring the traction engine), left into Lamb's Lane.

Now right into Lordship Lane...

Oops. Where?

A phone call got us an alternative routing (once the village procession had passed) and we got there.

There may be a footpath called Lordship Lane there, or there may not. It didn't look like it, but I didn't get out and search.

So: who's been copying who, then? Apparently TomTom has the same problem.

They all buy their data, ultimately, from Navteq, because the OS charges too much and those are the only two people to have a UK-wide dataset (although OpenStreetMap is coming along).

Which leads to things like finding that your satnav insists that your destination is down one long side road, and eventually finding out that the real route involves going back about two miles to the main road, and down another parallel road - because it's on the other side of a railway, and there's no other way to get there. Which pretty much happened to me a few weeks back.
