If starting from scratch, the most basic softwares would be GPSMapEdit (to draw) and cGPSmapper (to compile).

A newbie like myself would think of re-drawing the path that is wrong both on the map as well as the track. I had been searching for the best way to deal with this encounter. A traffic light and turning junction had shifted about 5 meters further down the road and now each time I track across the point, my PND will just initiate re-calculation.

Dun you think it is best to report the error here for the Mapper to edit and everyone can share rather then redraw the map on your own.

Just my point of view.... :mrgreen:

Bro Sibuan, I totally agree with Bro Alyem. Or do you intend to actually create a map for personal use? :-k

exactly my point..
all we want is updated map right? as newbie, u shouldn't trouble yourself in correcting the errors. let the experts do it for you :D . our job is to report the errors as accurately as possible thru tracking or just pinpointing the error location thru mapsource. u will feel good & satisfied when u see the error is corrected on the next map release. that's how it works in MFM
