The street is, but the address numbers fall short. The building has been around for 20ish years on a major street. The main question is "would this be true for all the navigation software that use navteq?" I looked at OCN5 and it looks good, but I want a comprehensive map with POIs MSandT seems to have this, but it lacks in alot of other ways. I would like to try OCN5, based on how smooth the graphics look alone, but will I basically be getting the same mapping data....
Give me the address and I will see if it is in OCN5. Unfortunately, that is a problem with navigation program. If the problem is in the map database they receive from NAVTECH (OCN5, iGuidance, etc). or TelAtlas (PMN, etc), then it will be in all programs using that map data. My house is about 1.5 blocks off in OCN5. I just added the exact location by setting the GPS at the end of the drive and telling OCN5 to save the current GPS location. Another option is to select the location on the map. I did that for several of our locations at work that are off the beaten path. I just select the road location on the map that is the closest before our private roads take over.
