In this area (NYC) it appears that the Google Maps, and FINDU and anyplace else using the Navteq mapping, give my location incorrectly by 0.16 miles, two city blocks off real WGS84/USGS/GPS position. I've asked Google and Navteq for a response on this. They may be using the TIGER maps for their baseline data, or making the same incorrect assumptions that TIGER did. The US Census knows of this error, and states that TIGER maps are not suitable for navigation. Has anyone else done a reality check on the Navteq maps and found similar problems in this or other areas? Does anyone know what the source for the Navteq data really is?
