Routes.TomTom.Com #fail Sassenheim and Aankomstpassage Schiphol
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/03/11
Routes.TomTom.com is having Alzheimer.
It used to understand these addresses fine (in fact I copied them from my history):
- Aankomstpassage Schiphol, Haarlemmermeer, NL
- Gouverneurlaan 1, Sassenheim
Even though both addreses are clearly visible on their maps, currently it makes this out of them:
- Multi-Vlaai Schiphol, Schiphol, Haarlemmermeer, NL
Airtrade Holland Schiphol, Schiphol, Haarlemmermeer, NL
Per Tutti Schiphol, Schiphol, Haarlemmermeer, NL
Rabobank Luchthaven Schiphol, Schiphol, Haarlemmermeer, NL
Rabobank Luchthaven Schiphol, Schiphol, Haarlemmermeer, NL - Sanem, Luxemburg
The latter is a silent one: it keeps the address info, but routes you about 350 kilometers in the wrong direction.
You have to work around it by manually including the country:
- Gouverneurlaan 1, Sassenheim, Nederland
Regression testing, anyone?

“oh dear” and indeed a case of no/failed regression tests.
Seems very important for this kind of app.
