Do they do their own maps, or do they get them from a third party? I
was thinking that they get their map data from outside sources and the
outside source is who has to make the map corrections. When you print
stuff from MapSource, it bears a NAVTEQ legend. Who are they?
I even vaguely recall that a few years ago, if you wanted to report a
map problem, either the page they sent you to, or the email they gave
for submitting the problem was not the same domain as garmin.com......
but then I am getting old and the mind plays tricks on me now and again.
Any takers on the GIS issue? I don't know a thing about them, but I am
a techno-geek type and if you can't track down anyone with real
knowledge, I might be able to crack the nut with some research if you
are willing to wait until I figure it out.

But I guess
this explains why Garmin has
been so slow on fixing the problems with the CO. This is an example of
why I
hate Garmin but love their products.
I got City
Navigator 2009 today. While
after 3 versions they finally fixed the most important problem for me
(IL-255 4
lane limited access highway that has been open for over 4 years), I
pointed out
over 300 errors in the maps they did not fix. I was able to find one
thing
besides IL-255 that they fixed. Very irritating and upsetting. But I
am very
happy to get IL-255 as now I can autoroute home correctly.

I know what Garmin is doing. They are coming
out with the States
Series of GPSRs, like the quarters, 4 new versions each year until they
use up
all 50 states.
Isn't
that the Alaska?
