Thumbs up Comments on New Zealand map

I have just completed a two week trip in the North Island, and have a few comments on the NZ map.
1. Generally, it's very complete and accurate. But there are a few problems.

a. The speed limits are wrong at least 50% of the time.
b. Routes using unpaved roads are extremely pessimistic. I had to select shortest route to force it to take what I knew was the quickest route. It sometimes went to silly lengths to avoid a dirt road.
c. It seems to have a problem with some routes. On a number of occassions the red route line was just straight from Go to destination, there being no attempt to follow the road. It seemed to do this on twisty dirt roads.
