EndoNav1 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The D3 version 1.0 maps are from Jan 2005. My home area is not listed being a newer area, I'm off the map, ha ha. Also I'm finding a lot local Points of Interests are not listed either which is understandable. Any word on when the new Maps discs are going to be released? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coocho Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 considering those are year 2007 map DVDs, you will have to wait til next year to get the 2008 version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VBLUE42 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 My address is about a mile off, house was built in 97 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EndoNav1 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 D3 manual - Page 15 Wide Variety of Facility Information for Points of Interest (POI) SearchYou can search your destination from all areas. -Approximatley 11 million POS's are included in this database as of January 2005............ So it seems they update the database every three plus years? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EndoNav1 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 My address is about a mile off, house was built in 97 Hmm, at least I'm only about 200 yards off. I still can't register a "Home" location. It still calculates to destinations and all, but it would be nice to use the "2007 D3" with a "2007 database instead of an over 2 year old one. It seems a bit strange to not have the database year not match the hardware year releases. I still having fun with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coocho Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The d3 doesnt have precise mapping, like the Z2 will have. It is normal for the unit to ring about a 100-200ft prior to reaching your home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EndoNav1 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 That not too bad. I think what I was trying to say was that I'm only about 200 yards off road from where the database stops. My area being newer the database map just show me to be off of the main road. Not too much of problem as I know where I live. ha ha Hopefully I can get a hold of the new maps before my D3 is obsolete. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1701z Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Page 4 of D3 manual "This database was developed and recorded up to April 2006. Changes to streets/highways made after that time may not be reflected in this database" I think it's the POI thats only updated every couple of years or so but the maps are updated every year.

EndoNav1 Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 So about a year off. My area just must have missed the revision being built finished in March 06. Thanks Dan for the clearificaiton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
06Fg2 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 The thing that pisses me off is my house is on the N1 maps, but not on the D3 maps. WTF is up with that? My house has been built for about 6 years now also. Shit pisses me off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
