Hi all
I live in Minneapolis where we had the I-35W bridge collapse 2 years ago. It was a significant outage that caused mapquest, and other map vendors to do semi-permanent re-routes. The bridge has been rebuild and was re-opened for traffic in Sept 2008. However, my 900bt still thinks the bridge doesn't exist so it wants to route me through busy downtown traffic. I have tried to ignore the suggestion to turn, and hope for a re-route after crossing the bridge, but it will actually cancel my whole route and declare me isolated from my destination. Not cool since most any trip I take involves going over the bridge.
I have seen several posts on this site on available map updates, and others that have said there are none. I understand I must work within the igo 8 series without going to 8.3. Can someone confirm if an update is available, and if so would you mind zooming in to 35w to see if a road exists over the Mississippi in Minneapolis? If an update does not exist, can someone think of a way to work around the problem of either ignoring the outage, drawing in a bridge, forcing a re-route, etc...?
Thanks
