[Talk-GB] Sat-nav maps update aims to prevent stuck lorries

[Dave F]

Hi

I was the thread's originator.

I haven't rechecked all their changesets, but from memory they didn't 
add any restrictions, just split roads, apparently at random points. 
Thanks for the reminder that I need to go a reconnect them.

Did they ever come back with a satisfactory explanation for their source?
