I worked on the fix aswell. if anyone wants it, you know where to find me. tested thoroughly out of colombo where significant map errors are likely to occur but have come across 4 only so far. a friend of mine is correcting the map as we speak and updated map will be posted at his discretion.  as for me, ill continue developing the maps, adding hotspots as I go along. and I, single handed, collected over 5000 waypoints which I marked individually in person at those locations hence accuracy 100% as opposed to values taken from websites. and anyone who uses Nokia 5800 with garmin mobile xt and it crashes on you. ha ha, u have a bug in the phone,no way to fix it, even with latest firmware.so if you have any sense of manners, credit me for the initial boost of making everyone aware that gps works in srilanka and there ARE maps for srilanka. even now, all i see is, 1)gps is useless in srilanka2)its controlled by the gov, 3) its no use, there are too many roads for gps to work4) roads change from two way to one way 5) gps takes too long to lock6) gov has banned it- gov cant ban something foreign to them. they have no power of it. 7) maps not as good as google maps - bullshit. to me, garmin maps superior to google maps. google maps good, only for colombo. and I hate to see your monthly phone bill if your using google map for navigation. 8) last and my favourite, gov can track u if u use gps in srilanka.there are two ( not one) provider who is selling gps navigation on mass market now, they are - Dialog and Sunlanka. have seen both, tested both. go see for yourselves and come to your own conclusions. and then see my pictures of my design. then ull realise something...thanks...ps: i have nothing against this person dinuksha_asela, but id advice before u speak, think what ur saying, as it can land you in serious shit like lawsuits. I wont go that far, i can if i want to as am also a lawyer.</blockquote>
