Correct, but in a Rand McNally Atlas it's about $4.95 at Walmart. For $1200 I would expect to find roads that have been built over 5 years ago on the map. The new bridge on Route 64 going to nags head is not in this system. I understand not having the local DQ but updating major highways is not (should not be) a big deal
I definitely agree in that case. Report the issue if you can find a contact, or I'd be happy to see if I can't track down a contact if you or other GPS unit owners have other things to report. (Not because I have any connections of any sort, but simply because I'm not too shabby at Internet searches and can generally get through even the most poorly-designed website... purely because I am hard-headed, not due to being adept or anything!)

What data (company name, copyright, etc.) is on the NAV units and NAV CDs/DVDs in your vehicle?
