Given the amount of effort involved in updating the Map CDs I would imagine that most use a common data store hence the similar level of detail ... Have to admit though that a greater level of detail would be preferable ... Last time I was up in the Kangaroo Valley region, while we were physically driving past a lake, the Sat Nav had us about 50m into the water

I was surprised that Jarvis Bay had close to zero map data given that it is a reasonably popular tourist location ... similarly the information DB section is heavily weighted to major urban areas ... apparently the closest petrol station in Wollongong is in Sutherland

Having said all that it is still pretty bl**dy useful around the city

And as for following one another ... unless we institute a grading system based on drivng speed in the twisties (after getting stuck behind a few people I starting to appreciate the benefits such a system would provide ) people are going to get separated given the number of cars involved ... maybe you need to keep up a bit better Gazah
