Website for Submitting Nav Errors
Tele Atlas has a new web page that makes reporting mapping errors easier. You can find it at:
http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com/cfl?...trativeArea=MA
Don't be put off that it starts at Boston, MA. Just enter the place you're interested in, and it will take you there.

It's funny how many errors there are on my NAV DVD just in my neighborhood. Google Earth gets it right, Google maps gets it right, but MS MapPoint 2004 and my NAV CD both got it wrong and in the same way. There must be only a few sources and lots of programs use data from a few suppliers of the basic map info. I went online and gave them all they need to fix my neighborhood. I wonder how many years before they fix it?
Thanks for the link, skipdale. This should be kept in the FAQ!

This is the company that produced the database for the Vette navigation software, then?

It would take an experienced team a month just to correct the errors on the '05 version 1.0. The version 2.0 isn't much better. Chevy expects me to pay $200 for an update to wrong data?
The 'Vette Nav. system is terrible.

Tele Atlas as Nav dbase Source
I researched the source of the Corvette Nav database about 20 months ago, and it turned out to be Tele Atlas. To confirm this, you can contact them at: support.na@teleatlas.com

I changed several errors as well. One was my work address which is named incorrectly. Another misses a bear-left on-ramp and instead tells you to turn left onto a road that you are actually merging into on the right.
I don't like the errors but it beats the heck out of not having a nav system at all.

The software and the ease of operation does not compare to my C330 Garmin and the Garmin updates are free. Version 3.0 is even missing a prominent town outside of Washington D.C. I had to use Mapquest. Of course, the town, Owings, Maryland, is in the C330.
We don't need updates, we need an aftermarket experienced vendor.
