Mapopolis Queston...


Recommended Posts

I bought a Magellan Sportrak Pro today and have been checking out Mapopolis and a few maps on my Visor. My wife and I are going to Kauai next month for our honeymoon, and I decided to download the demo Kauai map. The only thing I see on the map is the island outline. Are some of their maps just like this? The other few demo maps I have downloaded show streets and all.

That's been my experience, too. I just find it weird to offer such a map with the Platinum + GPS capabilities for a price of $12.95, when there is nothing there. I thought maybe it was a problem on my end or something. If anyone else wants to give it a try, they are available here under "Download Maps...Palm 3 or 4...Hawaii...Kauai."

If your honeymoon will be close to the normal length, then you don't need to buy the map. You can download maps as trials, and they're good for almost 2 weeks. The Navigator app is free. If you only need a map for a few days, and won't need to use it again, just get the demo.

I agree, but that's not the point. The map, demo or not demo, appears to be somewhat useless.

I checked the Platinum level maps (I bought the software and have access to all the maps) and agree, the Kauai County map is empty. The Honolulu County map is fine, though, so it doesn't affect the entire state.

 

I dropped a note to the Contact e-mail at Mapopolis. It'll be interesting to see what they have to say.

Here's the response I got from Mapopolis:

 

The Hawian Islandes were only recently completely surveyed by

NavTeq, our data provider, and the maps are only updated in

the most current release. You'd need to upgrade to the ND

release to get these maps. However, if you only need the

Kauai map, you can purchase the new map individually and it

is fully compatible with your existings maps and viewer.

 

So I downloaded the demo map (the ND version, as I've purchased the NC versions) and it is just as detailed as described.

 

The demo lasts for nine days...
