For those that don't know, navmii make a car sat-nav app for the iPhone called "Navfree GPS UK & ROI" This app is free, is built on OSM data, and is typically the #1 app in the Navigation-Free category in the App Store (ahead of skobbler which is currently #3)
This is a pretty good advocate for OpenStreetMap, putting it in the hands of people that may not have been aware of us before. But unfortunately navmii only update their map whenever they release a new version of the app. Their current map dates from Feb 2011 and (according to the ITO coverage) we've added around 40,000 new road details since then! This has the knock on effect that NavFree users will use their Map Feedback tool to report errors that we've already fixed. If these are recorded as Map Dust then that increases the number of false reports we have to look at. I've posted a suggestion on their "User Voice" forum that they should update the map more frequently (I suggested once a month). If you think this is something they should do, please go to: http://navmii.uservoice.com/forums/76347-navmii-/suggestions/1813197-please-update-the-navfree-maps-more-frequently and vote for that suggestion.
