If my maps were up to date at time of purchase (it was new) then the mapping company they use is hideous. I know after Katrina all casinos were gone and have all changed. They are not on the system as POI's. POI's I can live with, but roads no. New Orleans has had major interstate modifications, and none of these changes are on the map.
Good thing I don't need this nav for traveling. I will let you know how Ford is in comparison. We purchased our 2015 For Focus last night to tow behind our MH. The sales rep says maps update for free as needed, we will see.
Thanks for all the information.
