I have the same issue as Richardd in a different state. It appears that they haven't paid to get map updates because for my state the map is 4 years old at least. Jordan

I'm wondering if the map source that Navigon uses hasn't updated, which means that Navigon isn't to blame fully, or perhaps they haven't paid the license fees to get the updated map data, and then that is their fault. However if they are not willing to answer a tech support questions, it's hard to know and again, comes full circle as to why you don't recommend them. -- Raul A.

I mean, Oregon isn't the center of the universe... Right? Seriously though, I can understand where you come from in that if a product isn't accurate and the people you are making recommendations to live in the area, then you are right that it's not a viable solution. >> >> -- >> Raul A.
