Hi francisatrm. The Philippines routable 5.08 you downloaded is the old map freely available to all circa 2008. It might even be called a teaser map, as it will show you what you can do with the map after it's loaded on a GPS device like a Nuvi, XT or the handhelds, and for you to imagine the coverage of the latest map circa 2009. There's the latest map mentioned by Liv that's more accurate, has more streets with street names, and has more POI's but this map is for contributors only. As for comparing the roadguide map with Google Maps, it cannot be expected to match perfectly because the satellite images in Google Maps are prone to stitching errors (when the various sat. images are composed and stitched together). The tracks and POI's in the roadguide map on the other hand were gathered/contributed using GPS devices and are perceived to be much more accurate when used realtime.
Please download the latest roadguide demo map v1.06 so you can check what areas still need contributions in terms of POI's, road tracks, and street names. We look forward to seeing your contributions, and for you to avail of the contributors map...
