- Thanks for all of the responses. I am going to get the i 4.I tried to upgrade online yesterday because I was told that if you do that they would just add the cost to your next bill ( this would work better for me, this close to Christmas I don't have the spare $ ) but I found out you still have to pay up front. Oh well, I guess I can wait a few more weeks.
What about the internal GPS, is it accurate enough to cache with? Eric----- Original Message ----- From: "FreeLists Mailing List Manager" <ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It has some corrections for some parks in ST Charles. I also updated it for City Navigator 2011.3. They finally put the roads in Bush Wildlife Area-so I removed the ones they added. They also after 25 years removed the roads Mark Twain Lake flooded. But they did NOT fix the rest of the area. Several closed roads are still shown.
