If you can test it I would appreciate it. That would be the ultimate GPS test IMO given the cluster fubar there.
While nice I don't think what you are asking for is practical. Mapping changes would simply be cost prohibitive. As it is is takes over a year for most all programs to update their maps-and at a cost of at least $100 per copy to consumers.

If it's that important you can look at one of the AIO devices (I'd recommend Garmin) that has traffic alerts and guidance built-in. Will cost you a subscription though that's extra.
