Do they send a team around to measure all the gas stations, restaurants etc? Very good question Insp. I've wondered the same thing also, particularly with my GPS V which will find a residence address (or any address for that matter) and display coords for it. Garmin Mapsource must buy this info from the Canadian Government. Probably why its so expensive. Cheers, Olar Quote Link to comment
