navteq's next update

mkennedy

hi.
anyone know when navteq are releasing their next update.
afaik their most recent release is Q2 2006 is that right?
so presumably an update should be imminent-or have they updated since then?

btw are these guys constantly touring the country looking for changes?
how often do they update- I heard twice a year.
also which software gets this data the quickest?

It looks like it's just about done: Check out the new N2 on Mapquest.

thanks lads.
any idea when that will translate into the satnav software updates.

and which software is likely to update first.

Route 66 software will have this on that date. I can confirm this 100%

I am beta testing the new maps and version of Route 66 for PPC, due to be released late april/ early may.

Mapping updates are not major but more industrial estates etc are clearly mapped and non-digistised streets are now mapped
