Garmin Sucks in North Carolina.
Ok I am willing to shoulder some of the blame, because I am 2 versions behind, but not much of the blame…
Why do Garmin’s MetroGuide V5 Maps suck so bad in North Carolina, I was out kayaking today, and a couple of islands are missing, like swan island, as well a couple channels. Here is a google map link to where the arrow ont the GPS is pointing to.
When you and when you cross into North Carolina on the Northwest River it turns into a very fine line, instead of the wide river it is, as illustrated below and in this google map link.
I still love my GPS 60, but not real happy with missing islands and such
Not that I expect you to read it, but you could submit an error form on Garmin’s website… probably even faster than you wrote this post. http://www8.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/errorForm.jsp
Been there
It is actually not an error, just a lack of detail, plus I think they have fixed it in the new version.
My version is 2 years old, and I don’t think I should have to shell out $100+ for new maps.
As far as the omissions go some of the islands are not on the USGS maps, I guess that is because they are barely islands…
