Let's hope Garmin Express ..................

.....................no, I am going to use Garmin Map Updater

[Jan Horn]

Express went well. It did not however overwrite 2014.4 installed with Mapupdate, so I now have both 2014.4 and 2015.1 on my Nuvi 52.
OT I tried having both CN and T4A active this afternoon coming back form the VD and the unit went nuts around Sasol. It started calculating the route from 0% up to about 80% and then back to 14% up and down all the way to the Vaal toll gate where I deactivated T4A. Definitely not recommended.

Question:

My TRACKS4AFRICA_2015_10.GPI is not working. (This file is supplied with CN Southern Africa 2015.1)
Is yours working ?

[Jan Horn]

Yes they are Joe. The only problem notice is that each new upgrade adds a new set of Poi and the old set remain on the GPS. I am currently sitting with 4 versions. Will have manually delete them.

I have installed the GCN 2015.1 on my PC and compared it to the latest open source OSM generic routable and the Garmin CN maps are more than nine months behind. I live in Parklands, Cape Town. In my area for instance the link up road (Sandown road) to the N7 that was completed nine months ago does not show on the Garmin CN but are in detail on the open source maps. The open source maps might not be be complete for towns.
Hope the photos for the comparison will show as this is my first posting.

And to add insult to injurie when you report a map problem you get a very polite but indifferent " thank you for our input your input we will give it our attention when one of our technitions can verify it" reply. This was for a error in classification backed up by screen shots from Google earth. The paved road is rendered as unpaved causing an navigation error of around 80 km. The quality an accuracy of CN maps are very disappointing
