Has anyone noticed any roads missing off the Sensus maps?

I have the sensus system within my V40 (MY14), and it has the latest version V.30.16.04. But I've noticed a major road in my area is missing from the map. This road was built and opened in August 2015, therefore should be on this map which was released May 2016.

The particular road I'm refering to is A5758 Brooms Cross Road.

It took them 3 years to get the Hindhead Tunnel on the A3 into their maps and that was the biggest single road project running in UK at that time, on the main road from London to Portsmouth

Your road may appear next year

Why is it so bad? Surely they just buy the data in? Don't they?

Logically, yes. They use the same HERE basemap as my Garmin, but the Garmin is always about 6-12 months more up-to-date than the Sensus. Work that one out.

Does anyone know how often they release new map updates?

Twice per year for Sensus Connect which is fitted to MY14.5 onwards

It looks like Sensus is not updated as often as Sensus Connect. The Sensus maps where last updated May 2016!
