GARMIN nav no longer lists tobacco shops

I have not checked my Garmin but I will in the next day or two. I still use mine regularly as standalone GPS devices can be used legally while driving (in Oregon and Washington; California too, I belive) while cell phones cannot -- even for mapping and with hands-free unit. (the only legal thing you can do with your cell phone will driving is talk -- provided you have a hands-free unit -- meaning more than just a headset/microphone -- it has to have voice recognition).

It's a stupid distincition but one that our State (and others) have made.

I have an older Garmin that I updated in October and it finds both cigars and tobacco. I know Garmin uses Navteq maps, but I don't know where they get their business info from.
