The Importance of Map Freshness (Then vs. Now)

The primary reason users purchased the CN Europe NT 2013.41 update was road network changes. Between 2011 and 2013, Europe saw significant infrastructure development, particularly in:

• New Bypasses: Many rural towns received bypass roads.
• Highway Extensions: The expansion of the Autobahn network and improvements in the Spanish and Portuguese motorway systems.
• Traffic Circles: The widespread replacement of intersections with roundabouts across the UK and France.

Using an outdated map from, say, 2009 or 2010 in 2013 would frequently result in the GPS instructing the driver to turn onto a road that no longer existed or failing to recognize a new, more efficient highway route.

Part 2: What Was New in Version 2013.41?

When Garmin released this update, the marketing materials highlighted several key improvements over the previous version (2013.30). For users upgrading from older versions like 2012 or 2011, the leap was massive.

2.1 Road Network Changes

• Approx. 150,000 km of new roads were added. This included major infrastructure projects completed in 2013, such as:
  • The A20 motorway extension in Poland.
  • The M8 and M73 motorway completions around Glasgow, Scotland.
  • New sections of the A75 in France (La Méridienne).
  • Post-Olympic road reconfigurations in London.
• Turn restrictions and roundabouts were updated using Navteq’s Q2 2013 driveway surveys.

2.3 Points of Interest (POI)

The database boasted over 12 million POIs at this release. New categories included:

• Speed cameras (mobile and fixed – though legality varies by country).
• Electric vehicle charging stations (a novelty in 2013).
• Updated fuel prices and 24-hour restaurant data for major chains (McDonald’s, Burger King, Total, Shell).
