I believe that across the board TeleAtlas is not nearly as good as
Navteq.

Is there another player out there in map data? Is Navteq the most
accurate/thorough data available? However I realize that most likely no
other data can be used with Garmin unit. Just wondering if Navteq has any
real competition.

TeleAtlas.

Well I called Garmin today. They (a very nice/helpful lady) said I could
either get a copy of the missing ver 5 disc for $10 or a copy of the full
version 7 for $75. I opted for the new version. She seemed to be selling
me
on ver 7 and figuring it may have some updated roads and POI's in my area
I
decided to take the chance. We use the 2610 daily for deliveries and it
seems more and more we come across new suddivisions and roads that arent
on
the maps. Im just hoping the version will help some with that. Also found
out that , like their other products, the 7200 cannot be "hard" installed
so
that it will be covered by our theft insurance...too bad.

$75 is lot cheaper than the previous $150 upgrade price for City
Navigator. For $75 I may upgrade mine, but not $150, and with reasonable
software upgrade I may even upgrade my hardware.

I would be willing to subscribe to a quarterly service for upgrades at $75
per year for City navagator. That way they would keep me in the maps as
they get them updated. Also would love a service like MS Streets has that
updates road contruction.
