NAVTEQ produces the maps and digital GPS information that is used by every company or service that relies on maps that I know of. If you look closely, you'll see that websites like Google Maps, Mapquest, etc. use NAVTEQ mapping information. So do virtually all the GPS manufacturers.
There are probably two "levels" of errors that cause many locations south of 466 not to be shown on some GPS units or map websites:
- It's possible that NAVTEQ hasn't completed the mapping work needed to update their data bases.
- Or, even if NAVTEQ has done the mapping work, the website or GPS manufacturer must have used those latest, updated map data bases for locations to "show".
Failure in either case will cause the frustration being experienced. But relax...in time all the data bases will be updated. You may have to
BUY the new information for your GPS, but that's a subject for another post on TOTV!
