Thread: City Navigator Australia and NZ NT 2015.30 - HERE

This map is less updated than the previous version released by Sensis!

The example below show the biggest intersection in Adelaide SA that went a major upgrade >12 months ago to a dual roundabout from a big single one.

Note the update or lack of one...




I'm sticking with Sensis for now.

You should report it if you haven't already:

It's a long-running debate whether Sensis or HERE/Navteq is more reliable/accurate/up-to-date. It's not a winnable argument because it depends on where you look. [1] After at least annual reports, my semi-rural road is finally in the Sensis maps after being missing for many years while present on Navteq, but still as far as Sensis is aware there are only 3 house numbers, and only one of those is in the block where i'm located [not mine, it's the opposite neighbour though], but HERE has had all the house numbers for as many years as it's shown the road. It's not a new road, been around for 50-odd years. [2] A relative moved into a new rural-residential subdivision some kilometers away nearly a year back. Sensis still doesn't know about it [the entire subdivision], but HERE does and has done for the last few versions. I could find opposing examples around here as well bagging HERE like for Adelaide as quoted by you 2 [apparent] Crow Eaters. My point is that Sensis has ignored endless notifications and sometimes HERE does too.

My sincere advice, report the deficiencies where it counts, to HERE or Sensis as they might listen especially if its a built-up area or major arterial. Don't only comment here, and assume they'll find out themselves or that someone else will do it, just do it yourself as it takes but minutes. Remember 'The Stone in the Road' story? Or maybe you're too young to have had that in your Grade IV reader at school. Google it then, it's got a good moral [but sometimes responsibility, like goodness, can be it's own reward].

Garmin then has to on-report the errors to the map data provider, Sensis or HERE as applicable in AU. My attitude is to go to the original source, as they are providing the data to multiple end-users, not only Garmin. However, it would be a good idea to report to both. If i had to choose only one though, i'd go with reporting to the provider.

Interestingly, i only heard about this 'disagreement' recently. It's actually the International Hydrographic Organization and the Australian Hydrographic Service who disagree on the extent of the Bight i believe:

The IHO has 82 member countries including of course AU and the US, is based in Monaco and annoyingly it's President is an Australian who you'd think would've sorted 'em out on this.
The Encyclopædia Britannica seems to agreed with the Australian version [so they bl**dy should, it's our goddam Bight so get over it world, yanks included!]:

The more generally accepted boundaries are from Cape Pasley, Western Australia, to Cape Carnot, South Australia

And Cape Carnot is just to the West of Spencer Gulf which therefore is not included by our definition of what constitutes the Bight as thatguy82b imo correctly notes.

As to the IHO's concept of the Bight extending as far down as far the SW corner of Tassie, that's just silly i reckon because it's actually a fair chunk of the Southern Ocean fergoodnessake. Green is right, red is wrong imo.
