I know that the area south of 466a is a work in progress but some of the main roads are in and homes are being occupied. I also think the fire station is operating and soon Bonifay will be open for play in a few days.

The issue may be the lead time that is needed from getting the actual coordinates of the road and overlaying that onto the map. Also since Garmin buys the maps from Navteq they are at the mercy of getting Navteq to the updates.

The next update will be the first of next year so hopefully the new area will be covered. Here is a list of the past Garmin update releases and it will give you an idea as to the time of releases.
