I'm not entirely sure how long it takes for this stuff to be updated, but Google had their maps updated quickly enough.

Does anyone have experience with these units? Are other units like TomTom better for updating their maps?
I got a TomTom two years ago and it had all the new roads in Edmonton at that time. Are you talking about the Anthony Henday Dr.? It was on my Tom Tom. I downloaded the maps before I put the GPS to use though. The maps that came loaded on it were probably not up to date. I think I only get one free map update though. Don't remember the cost of new maps.
