For me I've submitted 7 map errors, 5 were fixed in the next release, the other two were not. Could be too close to the release, will see what happens. I forget who does their maps. But I did notice on one of the changes, Google changed as well.
My issue with Garmin is if you have a consumer model, mine's a 265WT. They either don't have a clue or don't give a rip about using it with their FMI/Fleet Management interface (*). I contacted their support and asked if the 265WT would would with the FMI-40 FM/Power cable. It does and their is no issue. But I never got that from Garmin. I got things like "no it does not work", " what is it that ?", "we don't make that item, then after giving URL, I was told that is proprietary", "It will damage your unit", and so on.... Never got "I don't know, but I will forward your request" If this PND gets stolen I'm done with Garmin, I just don't like being lied to. -pete (*) Fleet Management http://developer.garmin.com/lbs/fleet-management/ The cable https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=32197 can be found for as little as $30.
