I wonder if there is any way to find a format or whatever that could be used with Streets & Trips to update the maps?
....could be. I'll have to check the S & T ingestible formats...
....OK, in S & T: in the "Data" menu, click "Import Data Wizard", and see if you have OSM, SHP, GPX files available to convert to S & T coverage. Let me know (I don't have a copy of S & T)...
I know all of the "other data formats" that S & T uses...they are mostly US-centric GPS data...the only agency that would have foreign data would be the NGIA (the NGIA, formerly NIMA, would likely not deal with you at all vis GPS data because they are a combat support & intelligence agency)....but the absolute best and up to the second world GPS data comes from OSM (Open Street Maps).
On edit: ....I should add that NAVTEQ is one of the world's largest **commercial** GPS data providers, and will (probably) account for 99.999% of the GPS layers that S & T uses (Google Maps, Google Earth and the Google mapservers that seed all their mapping products used to use NAVTEQ as a product provider....however, I believe that Google had switched to TeleAtlas some time ago ....2009??...).
I think that NAVTEQ had been 100% merged into Nokia about ~~5.5 years ago....and even more recently, the brand is now called Here WeGo (or, Here), and is now owned by a consortium of German automotive companies (they use the GPS data of course in their on-board automobile navigation systems)....but this is probably way more than you wanted to know LOL.
