Maps & Upgrades
Who creates the maps for the MyGuide Devices?
Tele Atlas provides the digital maps and location content for MyGuide Personal Navigation devices. www.teleatlas.com
How is the map data collected?
To build and maintain its comprehensive global digital map database and location content, Tele Atlas uses information from a network of over 50,000 authoritative resources and a fleet of proprietary mobile mapping vans. The combination of drivers and the resource network ensures that what goes into the maps is fully verified and accurate. Everything, from satellite and aerial imagery, public data sources and filings, tax maps, web crawler tools, government sources, input from utility, fleet and postal drivers, helps the company confirm and double check where changes are taking place.
How often are the updated maps made available?
Currently, MyGuide obtains updates on a regular basis – and to this end, they incorporate the maps into their devices and make the current maps available online for users to download as well – ensuring users have the most updated maps as possible.
How can I get an updated map?
MyGuide will offer a fee-based map update in from April 2007 for our portable navigation devices. We believe the new maps from our partner Tele Atlas are the best digital maps made commercially available and we think our customers will find them reliable, complete and robust.
Upgrades are available on a fee basis. Email us or visit your nearest stockist to inquire. Please visit the TeleAtlas site below and check if the latest release includes your missing street or location. MyGuide strives to publish maps within 90 days of release; however stocks at retailers or etailers may contain an older version.
