Thread: WorldMap v5.00

I don't have intention to replace basemap, my basemap has every country and major road as well as names of cities and some major poi's its called Worldwide DEM Basemap, NR.

My question is what extra will this world map provide over basemap?

Is there chance that my basemap is more up to date and if i enable this map then i will see outdated info?

I certainly wasn't suggesting you replace your basemap with this map, quite the contrary in fact, so maybe you've misunderstood what I said before about how a worldwide basemap compares to this WorldMap. The map loaded as OEM to your GPSMAP62Sc is this map: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or possibly an earlier version depending on when it was produced. Same is also pre-loaded to the majority of Garmin units including auto devices. See my previous post for what this map is for. It's not intended for it to replace a basemap and in fact it can't. It's intended for it to supplement a basemap but not to the extent that a detail map does. Have a look at these explanations: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and catymag's other post here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

This Version 5 of WorldMap was released in August 2010. Version 5.01 Basemap was released in March 2011. The basic data is probably the same [or very close], but the WorldMap will usually have additional info not present in the basemap. What that is is anybody's guess until you compare a given location or area. But at the very minimum the WorldMap will have basemap level detail at any given spot and almost certainly will have more than the basemap.
