[QUOTE="wheelman666, post: 7265509, member: 64857"]That's one one of the issues we have been talking about on here.

How the hell can we depend on that kind of information when we are driving and routing down the road, and the GPS is basing its routing on 1-2 Year old Info???? Roads that are open that now are not, roads that were closed that have been opened for over a year. New roads, weight or height restrictions that have been long since corrected, etc..... I can't tell you how many times mine has tried to force me off a road or Highway or an insane route because it thinks there is a low clearance, weight restriction, no road or something else stupid. thank god I happen to know those areas, but how many more has it done it that i don't know? and i can't just go by Google, because it doesn't have a truck route. You will never get a current or correct map on any RM device, because they use HERE and the way they do it. and its a shame, they get thousands of Driver feedback and updates every day, but they don't use them the way they should. SO...................... my only option is to switch over..............[/QUOTE]
