huddy Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Not sure if this helps you can do a map search of an area in the pic to get a comparison. The new maps seem more accurate than previous, but I'm not 100% if they are actually better. I just updated them so I will share once I get to see more lanmarks and stuff. One thing I recall is that it did update alot of 3d landmarks in the update. If you don't travel out of state much I would pay for just the update for your region. $129.99 is a bit steep I have the 9.18.28.610126 version, so basically the 2015 Q2 one. Other commentary to note, is that it now uses basic landmarks to assist with the turns as well. For example the new version will tell you on the screen and verbally to make a "right just before the CVS Pharmacy". That is different from the earlier version. Also the 3D is pretty cool when you enter a major city. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Multitask Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 the POI's at turns might be a 2015 thing... didn't have the earlyer NEX to know .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mav2u Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yup that's what I'm running. Message me with email addresses and I'll try and send the file. You send the file to anyone yet to see if it works on another unit?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tcope Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 So with Google drive your have to download every file in each folder? Sorry, did not think about that I added a zip file of the folder and included files. You just need to be sure to have the synctool folder in the root of the SD card.
