    Delorme accepts user-submitted changes/issues. I don't run into the problem that often but I have.

    I always Google the address where I am going and then look at Street Atlas and see if there are differences. Doesn't happen much but when it does I look to see if that differnce might be because of a new or changed road or highway.
     
    passport220 Thanks this.

    It's annoying that many of the problems are old: streets or bypasses that have been around for years, or incorrect highway entrances/exits. And they haven't modernized its algorithms and background tasks - it's quirky in ways that should be long gone.

    That said, it remains much more customizable and, IMO, more accessible than any other gps out there.

    Tech support for copilot live can be a real problem!

    Don't be messing around on a laptop when driving is all I am gonna say. Police or a trucker like me might call it in. I have called in a reckless driver using a Dell laptop he was placed in handcuffs and hauled off in a cop car. Don't level up to Supertrucker. It's one thing look at a screen once a while, another to play around with it weaving into other lanes thinking that's acceptable.
