How accurate is my GPS map?
A map is only as good as its updates. Most GPS mapping companies get their information from either TeleAtlas or Navteq. The information from them is then turned into their own proprietary data, and then sent to the GPS units. It is then up to the individual companies to determine how often they update their maps. Some take years. Some never do. Plus, how often are TeleAtlas and Navteq going to drive Jefferson, Lewis, or Mason County to update every road? And if they do, does that mean Garmin or TomTom or whomever is going to purchase that information, turn it into their internal data, and then release and update? Probably not, which is why directions in those areas may not be accurate at all.
A Good Map Company updates our maps every two years. And there is no map with greater accuracy because we verify every single road. Even our competition can’t boast that. We verify new road updates from local city and government, local fire and police, and current customers who use our maps. We then go and drive those roads to make sure they are put on our map exactly how they appear when you drive them.
Let us know your experience with our maps compared to GPS units.
Too Much Faith in GPS?
We have all heard the stories about people taking too much stock in the turn by turn directions of their in car GPS units. You know, the ones where you follow the directions and end up across town. Or how about the one where it took a couple 2 additional hours to get to their destination because they were too focused on their Garmin, TomTom or other GPS unit to pay attention to the actual road signs.
NBC’s “The Office” did their own take on following the driving directions given by the in car GPS mapping device, verbatim.
Seriously, buy a map!
