Laurel Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I am wondering when you all got the MFT upgrade and new SD card, did streets and businesses get updated? Our info. seems pretty outdated, but we don't have the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose someone w/ the updates could try to find a street or something on the map you are wondering about to see if it contains newer info for your area.

Have a street here that has been one way to the east for about 20 years, it has been reported to the various gps manufacturers and even with A4 it tell you to turn west on the street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are updates, but that doesn't mean it's 100% accurate everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnrobitaille Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I have noticed that there are businesses that have changed names before A4 came out, I have to update those names. Also not all streets have been completely updated on A4. With continual growth & changes, GPS is never 100% correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-N Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 GPS is never 100% correct. Make that navigation is never 100% correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnrobitaille Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Make that navigation is never 100% correct. Actually from previous experience using GPS to Mapspot addresses during the 2010 Census, GPS is not 100% correct as not always does the satellite correctly read your position.

Wingrider01 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'm saying the A3 and A4 card are not identical. There are updates, but that doesn't mean it's 100% accurate everywhere. the errors for roads that have been re-routed, exits and entrances to the highways that have been closed or opened that where done 5 years ago where on A3, the same exact errors are on the A4. would have thought they would have made sure that entrances and exits to major interstates that where moved or closed when they rebuilt 25 miles of the interstate would have been included in the A4 build, heck they should have been on the A3 set.
