Personal experience maybe comes into it to a degree. Maybe one is better depending on where you are navigating at the time. My own experience is that Sensis is not very up to date around where i live but Navteq is. Of course that's of no consequence to me personally because i know the area well.... but it does leave me wondering if Sensis/WhereIS have been as sloppy elsewhere. Garmin are no longer loading Sensis onto most Nuvi models since last February, Navteq is now on most new devices. Sensis is still available as NuMaps Lifetime purchase, as is Navteq. We're currently the only place in the world where Garmin gives you a choice of map providers for Lifetime map purchases:
But no Sensis as a onetime purchase, only Navteq:Code:Please Login or Register to see the links
That may be reason enough to believe that Sensis is mainly only being keep going to satisfy those who have a LM model unit purchased with Sensis preloaded, and that Garmin may eventually abandon Sensis/WhereIS altogether. For that supposed reason alone it's enough for me to say 'Mate, just go with Navteq'. There are comments that Sensis has better POIs and Navteq pronounces Tce & Hwy as separate letters ie T C E & H W Y. I'm sure that will be addressed eventually and in the meantime i'll put up with Karen saying the letters and me not being able to find the nearest Maccas or Shell (who cares, not me). However, getting lost in unfamiliar parts because of old map data is not on for this little black duck and the big deal-breaker for me with Sensis has been that for some time Garmin has been issuing a Navteq truckies map in parallel with Sensis. That speaks volumes in itself.Code:Please Login or Register to see the links
