Map & Firmware Updates For Holden IQ?

[shterk]

I noticed something quite odd when I updated from MY11 to MY13 maps, my street was finally visible and active on the satnav (yay) BUT a well known "Safety Camera" (a joke in itself) along a route I frequent often was no longer showing up.
Has anyone else experienced similar situations where they have updated a map only to find some features appear missing from older versions?

In my searches I came across Navigation Systems Australia Including BMW Models - I wouldn't recommend them unless someone here has proof otherwise? I asked them what map database shows when it's in the iQ and they've said "Sorry but we don’t have a device to check that numbers"

Hopefully the map updates that are in other cars in similar systems can be modified so they can be used in the IQ

It is interesting to note the similarities in the back end to the relatively ubiquitous VW RNS 510 database which is up to date.
I'm sure that if Sensis does abandon the Holden IQ licensing scheme that there is a legal defence to updating the existing database (for personal use only).
No shortage of VW-driving Chinese software engineers looking to collaborate in such an academic research for a fee either.

Update today I`ve been told GM is going with a new suppler as last one is taking too long.
November 30 new one we will see.

New supplier for mapping or just the manufacturing of the SD cards?

Last one for Holden IQ (VE) was Navtec licensed by Sensis / Whereis to GM Holden. Who does MyLink?

Didn`t find much.
Interpreter looked it up on data base nothing there seems to think GM will email Dealers updates and Dealers will download to car.(no sd card).
GM tells them sweet FA.
If we had a SD card for the VF in stock I could take pics like I did before.
