Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

Wayfinder maps updated to maps of 2008, finally!! Can anyone confirm this? I saw this with a diablo fresh install.

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

Yes, all maps are marked as version 2008.1

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

Does this mean we have to re-download the regional maps?

Yes, you have to

I downloaded 2008.1 Scandinavia map, but I can't find any missing roads or errors fixed in Finland.

Some errors are:
- missing runway from Helsinki-Vantaa (built in 2002)
- missing railroad from Kerava to Lahti (built 2006)

and couple of smaller errors. Did they just change version numbers or are there any real improvements?

Well, the maps now are bigger in MB, spain for exemple, 192MB-244MB. Surely there are improvements. And i saw that all (i think) are now bigger.

You know not all roads make navigation maps. Some may never make a map.

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

Actually Google Maps have exactly the same errors. Looks like Tele Atlas is just slow updating their data.

With Daiblo instaled, I noticed that new maps were available for the UK and Ireland: 2008.1 as against my older 2006.7.

One warning: the 'favourites' seem to be associated with individual maps, rather than global across all maps. Switching from

UK-Ireland TA2006.07 143MB

to

UK-Ireland 2008.1 164MB

lost all my favourites! Fortunately, I had not deleted the 2006.07 maps and was able to find where the favourites are stored.

cp /media/mmc2/map/mapdata_UK-Ireland2/favourites.txt /media/mmc2/map/mapdata/favourites.txt

made all my favourites available with the new maps.

(Does anyone know the format of that file, by the way? I'd like to import a lot of locations from other GPS devices.)

I have notcied some changes/mprovements in the actual map data: e.g. the new A30 section in Cornwall near "Victoria Roche GBR" is now present. (I drove that section a couple of weeks ago with the 2006.7 map, and Wayfinder got rather confused as I was driving through fields!)
