I've only seen missing or incorrect sections
of "newly completed" highways,
where you are flying in white space,
connecting the ramps... like Illinois 355 south,
but not for those highways about 6 years old.....
like Alabama 431.
---

Happen to travel from Atlanta to Florida panhandle via Alabama...

Thought the GPS was wacked on one section of Alabama 431,
as we were "off the road" and into white space....
verified on the trip back up.

It appears a section of highway 431 is wrong on the Garmin map -
but lists ok in Google...

top marker is 32.213734 and -85.168314
bottom marker is 32.169018 and -85.175600

I have reviewed it on Garmin Mapsource
with CN NA NT 2010.3 -
it shows highway 431 going thru Pittsview AL,
which 431 does not do...

I saw that the highway 431 bridges in this short section
going around Pittsview AL,
had a date of 2005,
so that may be when that bypass section was built.

I have reported this to both Garmin & Navteq.

This anomaly may have been corrected in versions 2010.40 and 2011.10.
Both show US431 going around west of Pittsview (N32.18889 W85.18165)
just like Google map. The Old Seale Hwy is shown as going through
Pittsview now.
