Another possible source of error is the buggy grid reference calculation in MapPoint 2002 which is fixed in 2004. This would only have an effect if data was loaded into MapPoint using the grid references. My experience for the mainland (Wales and Yorkshire) suggests that the road database was loaded without using grid references. (fixed coordinates match roads/etc better than the originals).
re. Ireland: Yes I've heard this complaint quite a bit. I think Microsoft did change the data providers for the European edition. Other countries also suffered but I seen more complaints for Eire.
I was under the impression that Northern Ireland was okay, but perhaps it does come under the same provider.
