mike170469 · Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2009 12:10 pm Post subject: Map Update 2010.10

Downloaded the latest maps for my Nuvi 710.
nu Maps Lifetime Europe
Map called 2010.10 ? Happy New Year didn't know it was 2010 Shocked

pity there isn't any part off the map update Twisted Evil

(that I can see)

I send Navteq the info they say they update the maps Mad

here are a few examples:

N53 23.974 W2 48.536 M57 / M62 2 new slip roads 1 old gone
N53 14.642 W2 55.861 End off M56 lots off new roads around the area

both off these where sent to Navteq Aug 08
and are done on Teleatlas, Google maps
Garmin have released 3 map updates since then?

what did I pay £99.00 for !! ?? Rolling Eyes

No Email to say new maps ready

I think I'll pass on this update

It's a bit annoying, I agree.

I don't really understand how it all works but I think that the 'latest' maps issued by Garmin are 1 or 2 versions behind the latest from Navteq, someone else might be able to confirm if this is true and explain why.

The latest Garmin map has not been dated for certain to the best of my knowledge. the previous quarterly, 2009.1x was based on Navteq's 10/08 release. So as a guess this one is a Jan/09, or perhaps 12/08. The purchase of the map is just one facet of the map update, albeit a large part. Compiling for Garmin display, any POI additions, DEM shading and lane-assistance updating all require additional time. Perfectly normal in the PND world. TomTom's latest was actually based on a three (4?) month old TeleAtlas update when it was released to owners. Now as far as a road opened in the past few months, it could take quite some time for it actually to appear in one of the two major map company updates. You'll sometimes find corrections made in the Navteq release first, and other times in TeleAtlas. And occasionally a road may not find itself into either company's map, even tho it's been there for years.

I have successfully installed 2010 and the file sizes are as follows with the 2009 files sizes in () and the 2009.10 update file sizes in {}:

Gmapprom - 1,679,488 (1,604,160) {1,630,976}
Gmap3d - 319,376 (260,660) {284,336}

So it is good to see that changes are at least being made.
The base map (gmapbmap) and the timezone (gmaptz) don't change

what is strange though is that the junction view - held in the JCV folder is much smaller for the 2010 release.

2009 Original - 187,587
2009_10 update - 205,282
CNE2010_10 - only 98,204 !!!

Can anyone else confirm this file is smaller

The download includes Garmin's Mapsource, thus the size is larger than the map alone.

The map was updated. Very Happy

I submitted a change in road junction (Mount Road' near the Aldi in Kidsgrove Stoke-on-Trent ) on the Navteq site.

This was done around early March and has now been updated.
