Form To Report A Garmin GPS Map Error

Online Form Here

I don't know why Garmin doesn't incorporate this function into their GPS Units the way that TomTom does.

But oh well, thought someone might like to have he online form.

  • I have found LOTS of Garmin map errors. Some of them are rather funny.

    One of them wanted me to drive through a fence and across a crowded schoolyard full of children! Hmmmmm uh - no!

    I didn't know they had a form to report these things.

    When I bought a $500. Garmin several years ago, you could call to report map errors.
    Gave it a try - nice guy on the other end, took info, etc.

    Nothing (ever) changed..:(

    And - Garmin wanted an annual fee for updates. Yeah right!

    BTW - No repeat Garmin customer here..:(

    Won't use it, but thanx for the form link..:)

  • Most people don't know but Garmin nor most any GPS manufacturer, make their own maps. Garmin gets theirs from NAVTAQ as does YAHOO maps, MapQuest, Bing maps and others. TeleAtlas is the other major company (TomTom, Navman, etc.). If you have errors it is quicker to report them on the map maker web site. You eliminate the middle man that way.
