Whereis® keeps its maps up to date

The Whereis® map database is constantly being refreshed to ensure our map data reflects the Australian road network as closely as possible. We take pride in this regular map update program, which consists of customer-reported map errors, new road developments as well as the results from our own 15,000 hours spent driving over 320,000km of road to analyse changes in the Australian Road network each year.
