DVD/NAV not up to date

I took 134 to 210 East going to Las Vegas. The extension of 210 East freeway was completed couple years ago, however, my nav showed Off Road, it's not on the map.
It got back on track on I-15 North.

The expected time of arrival was dead right. I checked every 40 minutes, I know it adjusts as you drive, but it was correct from the begining.

The company 'maintaining' the data base (NAVTECH) is slow to update. Three years ago, I pointed out to them missing roads that have been in use for 15 years. Those roads are not in what is published as the current data base. The 'customer service' person I spoke with was not particularly interested in my information, and probably never reported it.

Thug_Law,

I took the same route to Las Vegas this past weekend. I took 210E to I15N. However, I haven't pickup my Nav. replacement yet, so I brought along my portable Garmin Street Pilot III which is also using the Navtech map. The Garmin route me to the newly extended 210 and connect to the I15, but like yours, the new portion of the freeway is shown as small street on the graphic. (At least not off road!) The routing is correct though.

BTW, did you go watch the concert at MGM?
