Hi,
I've been watching this with interest since, as yet, I haven't bought the
upgrade and was wondering whether it was worth it if the number of POIs had
dramatically decreased - I tried buying the upgrade the other day but ran
into difficulties as the UK wasn't an available country option!
So, setting aside the POI issue, are the UK maps better than previously,
please?
Regards
Richard Bartholomew

Hi Steve,
If I explore virtually from the Reading town POI, then I find 56 POIs in a
radius of 200 feet, and
100 within 400 feet. and these are definitely from the 2014 sets, so I
really wonder whether there might have been a problem during your
installation. This is what occurred to me straight away because honestly I
think these new sets are pretty good.
I've done a few road-trips since updating and not found a noticeable
reduction, and I agree on how important a rich source of POIs is, so do let
us
know what you find. And what do others in the UK think?
Best,
Peter
