new section. No luck.

Garmin buy their maps from a company call Navteq. MapQuest.com also get their maps from Navteq and you will usually see the streets there as the web site is updated daily or weekly while Garmin only puts out an update four times a year. Now what are the two models that you are comparing and how old are the units. Have you updated your maps recently? The last update came out in Feb 2013 and is version 2013.40.
The real problem is the TV is building streets faster that the Navteq can get there car into the area to verify the streets.
