so NAVTEQ 2009Q1 mapps are the best ones right now right? can use the NAVTEQ POI files with the hacked ezrider file?
Yes, you can, even if it's not recommended, because the TeleAtlas POI's are way better then the Navteq's.
@tommyis3:check your PM's.
I compared my navteq maps to the 3.01 teleatlas maps, and the navteq maps are all about 15-20 percent smaller.......so is there really anything to gain? It seems as though the new navteq maps I have are smaller?

so can i put the navteq 2009q1 maps and use the teleatlas POI's instead? where can i get the latest teleatlas POI's?
will i loose my hwy signs with the navteq maps?

I have no idea if the Navteq maps include or not hwy signs; for the rest, google is your friend.
BTW, I didn't updated my F500 to 3.0, I waiting for the last two weeks for Pioneer to ship 3.0 upgrade...

My PNA with navteq maps have highway signs, and lane guidence, so u wont lose them. I'm not sure I'm going to use the navteq maps though......the files are smaller, which to me means (duh) less information! I checked, and my navteq poi files are the same size, or bigger than the teleatlas files. Also, all my navteq .3dl files are almost all exactlly the same size as the teleatlas files. What do u guys think?

bigger doesn't mean better, well i guess we just have to try it out first before we make our judgements, the TA maps we currently have for the 3.0 sucks, turn restrictions are wrong, streets are so old,
wats a PNA?

PNA = Personal Navigation Assistant (Garmin, TomTom, Magellin ect)
So far what I can tell is the the 2009 q1 Navteq maps have much less speed data in Northern Illinois. Of the few routes I've simulated it only shows the speed limit on the interstates. The seems to be less of the huge overhead signs as well. The latter I'm fine with. One thing the Navteq does that the Teleatlas did not is that it shows the country road numbers too. Never saw that with Teleatlas.

From what I have read, Navteq maps are somewhat smaller, but still have better mapping data (may be better compressed or something) that TeleAtlas...

My TA POI for Illinois has 15,818 kb
My Navteq poi for Illinois has 15,719 KB I purchased the upgraded poi's from NavTeq, thats prolly why its 13,000k bigger than ur navteq poi.

I'll give them a try! The ones I have I just purchased last week for amigo. So All I have to do is Transfer my Navteq map folder over to the avic, and replace the stock ezrider with this new hacked ezrider? Am I missing anything?

So far I didn't came over the Navteq premium POI's, only TeleAtlas or NNG. It would be interesting
to compare, since I'm pretty unhappy with the TeleAtlas POI precision...

Backup completely your AVIC, because you need to make room for the Navteq maps...
With NavTeq I have 619 mb free space on MyFlashDisk. I think I had less than 100 left with The TeleAtlas. In both versions besides the maps, landmarks and POI's I installed just the Illinois 3dc file.
YMMV depending on what you're looking to get out of it. There's yet to be a perfect one out that will please everyone 100% and I doubt there ever will be.

Yup...I don't do anything without a backup....so I replace ta map folder, with Navteq map folder., and replace the stock ezrider, with this new hacked one.....is that it?

Are upgraded for version 3.0? If not, upgrade, backup, then play with the maps...
And don't forget the worldwide license...
i was just reading through some post on ppc about the new TA maps and the NT Q2 and there's so many issues with both that i can't decide if i'm going to change the map i have,

Both mapsets are work in progress; practically none of the companies has the manpower
to finalize the mapping and introduce all the data onto the maps ... So flip the coin, and choose.
OK....I have it up n running, I have all my navteq maps loaded, and they work, and I have verified that its the navteq folder I have loaded, but in the pioneer about screen, under maps they all say tele atlas 2009.02??????????????? I also replaced the building folder with the navteq one.....The buildings look the same for St. Louis as the Tele Atlas did, but alot more buildings show up on my PNA? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Remove the TeleAtlas maps. If you have two maps for the same state, EZrider will choose the newer one,
according to the map release date(choosing USA_Louisiana_83_2009.Q1_090611_NavTeq over USA_Louisiana_83_2009.02_090410_Tele_Atlas, for example).
I figured it out. When I bought upgraded maps for my PNA, they must be Tele Atlas maps, I just checked my PNA, and AVIC and they both say Tele Atlas 2009.02 (090410). I assumed they were upgraded Navteq maps on the PNA Because thats what was on there.....weird!

Look at bright side of the situation: at least, you have newer maps in your AVIC ...

So what was the release date of the stock 3.01 maps?
