Karen,
There are two major map suppliers in the U.S. and both cover much of Europe
as well. They are constantly working on updating the street maps. They
release updates about once a quarter but this isn't for the whole country,
only the parts they have updated. They get the updates from a number of
sources, including their own surveys.
Sendero will be providing updated maps with the release of BrailleNote GPS
version 3. On average, we will probably do an entire country map update
about once a year as long as it is necessary to do so on CD or DVD. At some
point, this might be possible on-line and then the updates could be cheaper
and more frequent.
