+tophat Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Does anyone know of any utilities to update maps in MapSource? I'm thinking of when a new road is built, or when a two-way street becomes one-way, that sort of thing... Quote Link to comment
Alphawolf Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 By your references to streets and roads I assume you are speaking mainly of Metroguide. This would be a wonderful thing, to get say, monthly updates on roads, wouldn't it? Alas, I'm afraid it probably won't happen in the near (or probably distant) future. This would take a great amount of manpower and resources for Garmin to offer it. It would have to come from analyzing satellite images almost constantly, looking for changes. Even the military can't spot changes as quickly as they would like to. Then, the cost to you and I would quickly bankrupt a small nation. I see a new road built in my neck of the woods, and it doesn't even show up on a state road map for 2 years! It won't be known to Garmin for at least the same, so I think we can't hold much hope.

+tophat Posted June 7, 2002 Author Share Posted June 7, 2002 Actually, I was thinking of a utility to run on my PC, to manually edit the map myself. Quote Link to comment
