I was under the impression that all the sat nav makers use either one of 2 major mapping comapnies in Europe Navtech and TeleAtlas.  They dont do the mapping themselves, they just produce the software and interface to interpret and work with it.  I dont think the maps are changed that often, I tried submitting the changes to one of the mapping companies but never got a response.

Ive got a nav man only a couple of months old and If I listened to it would have driven up many one way streets by now in my town with road changes a good few years old.
