Sorry folks, just getting back to the divert part of this thread, here are my findings....
WE 675 1322 Navteq
Agree this one does seem to be a Navteq map, and can confirm I have spotted minor changes and the odd extra roundabout in this map v 6.75 .1409
and the following benefits and concerns...
Benefits
It doesnt seem to know as many road speeds ( A23 South for ex is not there!) - excellent as this allows more easy viewing on the gps speedo.
Some of the `silly` keep rights are not there - meaning you get more of an idea how long your on a road for.
Concerns
When either calc route, or on browse map, it doesnt appear to pick up the sea! - its just ground colour - only if you have images shown they will change once over a certain zoomage.
The next road advice on m-ways is a bit simple - just gives a number.
Also if going from the M23 ( say LGW ) to Dartford via M25. on approach to the M25 whilst on M23, it just says `8` in the bottom and says M26 in top right.
On the 1409 map, it says M25 in the bottom and M25 at the top!
Shame you cant mix and match!
I think i will give 1322 a good test.
Thanks

Just an update on my comparison test between 1322 & 1409, I have noticed that if you have a gps signal, then on the calc map and browse map - it does show the sea again ! - horay. - but not if you dont have a signal.
Also, i noticed that the `M26` bug did eventally change to say `8 Maidstone` in the top right as you got closer to the M25 - more speed and less haste needed i think.
I have also had to change a POI of mine, because in this map it has included a road which was not on the 1409! so routing to it was slightly different!
All in all a good map and will continue to use until further time.
Thanks for the advice!
