Pioneer's timeline formula for updated map disc release?

Has there been any kind of formula for releasing updated map discs? I know the D3 is still fairly new, but the maps (atleast for Austin) seem to have been created atleast 18 months ago. I know there is going to be a lag on the map contents as far as new material, but does anyone know how long it is?

 

Example.....a road that was completed in May 2007 would show up on.....maybe the 08 discs? And is there a standard release time on the new discs, perhaps a certain month of the year they release them?

 

I assume there is no way to add new roads to the existing disc. My frustration comes from the fact that I frequently drive a new(er) toll road that the Pionner doesn't think exists.

Have you checked to see if TeleAtlas has mapped it yet?

Well I went looking this morning, but their site doesn't have a map display to check. Perhaps their current maps are displayed somewhere else?

 

Mapquest has the new road, Yahoo and Google do not. I'm not holding out much hope on tele-atlas. But even if it just marked some of the roads that were removed when construction began, it would be helpful.
