Does anyone know the differences between V 3.02 and V 4 for the Garmin
Worldmap (part 010-10215-01)? It's not clear from the online
description or the online map at the Garmin site.
I've found V 3.02 generally useful, but somewhat inaccurate in the
correspondence of map features to the actual ground, at least in
several parts of Asia.
I just checked a particular area in Kenya that I happen to know
very well.
Even the few biggest roads in Kenya that were built between 10
and 20 years ago are not in version 4.
In other words, Garmin has not used any new technology, like
satellite imagery, to create genuinely useful maps for the whole
world. Instead what they seem to have done is to fix a few
pieces and bits of the old WorldMap and sell it as an updated
version.
Not worth the trouble, it seems. And it is a pity that nobody
makes a good loadable world map. I'd gladly pay for one, because
I genuinely need it.
