In January 2008 I contacted Tele Atlas to tell them that their data on where Carnedd Llewelyn and Carnedd Dafydd are was wrong. They emailed me back and said.
“To insure [sic] that the quality of our data meets the highest standards, the change you have suggested may take several months to be completed. Tele Atlas makes updates to its database every day and the application providers receive new versions of our product every three months. They will integrate the new data into their products and update their maps, which usually takes from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the application provider. Once we inform you about the change in our database, please contact your application provider to learn when the update for your application will be available.”
20 Months have passed since they sent me that email. I’ve climbed both mountains since then and can guarentee to you that they have not changed much in that time, neither however have Tele Atlas’s labels for them, which are just as wrong.
Here are some links to maps that have the Carneddau in the correct locations.

- Ordnance Survey (next to Google Terrain map from Where’s the path)
- Ordnance Survey (on Multimap)
