Neptuno,

I'm sorry to hear this! This is BS. You did work a lot with this project and offer them free for the public and some scumbag steals it from you and selling it for $$$.
You are very kind to offer them for free but I'm pretty sure it cost you $, time, etc... so even thought you do not sell them, you should enable a "donation" option on your site - as many developers do- I'm pretty sure that people would appreciate your work on this area and donate some $, I would.

dominicana.cc is not accurate!

If you look at the site Dominicana GPS Map they also offer different maps at different price points. If you want a true GPS map of Santo Domingo, then you need to get the Ola version.

I purchased and installed the FULL Dominicana.cc map and I can tell you that it is NOT accurate. (Verified for Jarabacoa area for sure!)

From my mapping experience, it seems like they just took a whole bunch of random GPS tracks (from tourists?) and pasted them into a big file... yes they have a LOT of streets and waypoints... but a WHOLE BUNCH of the streets / paths DO NOT EVEN EXIST... some 'roads' are just errors or just random wanderings of the person who was using the GPS that captured the tracks (unedited in a smooth 'street' line.)

I am in the process of asking for my money back for the map. I told them I would rather have a map with LESS detail if it was more ACCURATE.

I bit the bullet on the above map and it is hit or miss it does not have smaller cities like Tenares or some resort areas. Juan Dolio is missing. However a new city is being added to the map every month.

You should check as you might be able to get free updates.

Would you mind sharing a copy of your purchased map? I'd like to evaluate it ;)

I wonder if anyone has been able to make these Chinese car head units work with a map from the DR? The ones that I have seen seem to run WinCE, so in theory it should work.

I had a play with one and the problem was that you have to have the navigation software and the maps on the same memory card. I gave up after a while and went with a Garmin unit that worked out of the box, but these Chinese units which are half th price could be a little money spinner for someone who could get them to work.
