map updates

Cartographic data corrections

Map updates are revised data for digital navigation systems, incorporating new roads, changed traffic patterns, corrected addresses, or updated points of interest.

GPS devices and navigation apps require periodic map updates to remain accurate: My GPS still shows the old highway because I haven't downloaded the latest map updates.

The term appears frequently in automotive contexts, where built-in navigation systems need manual updating.
