Mapscource update 6.15.11.0

[don71uk]

hi,

I have just noticed that I can update my Mapsource software to version 6.15.11.0, it it any good?

I have a Quest 1 and I am currently using mapsource version 6.13.7.

If I update will I notice any difference, or should I just stick with what I've got, as it does everything that I want it to do.

thanks, in advance.

Don.

I much prefer 6.5.11 over 6.13.7 it's much clearer, I wouldn't advise going to 6.16.1 (the latest) as it's a retrograde step I think.
Strangely, when I update my mapsource it doesn't over-ride the old file but runs 'alongside' it, so I have three versions to play with..

It seems to me that the latest Mapsource has changed the layout so you see vertical distances at a similar ratio to horizontal. Before countries were very squished.

BTW my comments are about 6.16.1 which came out on the 13th May 2010: http://www8.garmin.com/support/mappingsw.jsp

The thing(s) I don't like with the latest version is the '71's all over the place (what's all that about?) and the very heavy route lines, I tried using it for awhile, but reverted back to 6.15.11.

thanks for the replies,

I think will I stay on my current version as it does everything that I want it to do.
